Mumbai: In a gory end to love triangle, a
film actress and her naval officer boyfriend were arrested
today for allegedly murdering a 25-year-old creative head of a
reputed TV production house and disposing of his body after
chopping it to pieces.
"The murder was a fallout of a love triangle. A case of
missing was registered by Neeraj Grover's parents on May 7 as
the creative head was not traceable," Joint Commissioner of
Police (Crime) Rakesh Maria told reporters here.
Marrayya Monica Susayraj (27), who has acted in four
Kannada films, arrived in Mumbai in March this year trying to
get into Hindi serials and had also auditioned for the newer
version of Mahabharata. She came in contact with Grover while
applying for work and both probably started "going around".

"The actress had shifted to a new apartment in suburban
Malad recently and Grover went to her place late on night on
May 6 and volunteered to help her in putting things in place,"
Maria said.
At around 0200 hours on May 7, she received a call from
her boyfriend of over 18 months Lt M L Jerome Mathew (25) who
asked her not to entertain Grover.
Mathew probably took the first flight out of Kochi where
he is based and knocked at Marrayya's door at 0730 hours the
next morning. An altercation broke out between Mathew and
Grover which ended with the latter being stabbed to death by
the naval officer, Maria said.
Marrayya went to a nearby mall and made a host of
purchases which included a few knives, curtain cloth, bed
linen and sports bag.
"The couple chopped the body into pieces, replaced the
blood-stained pieces of cloth and packed the body into the
bags," Maria said.
