11.29 right now. I'm Stephanie Ramirez
in the newsroom following breaking news on Fox 5,
a major update in the murder trial of Naresh Bhatt.
Now, we have the moment that the defendant,
Naresh Bhatt, today took the stand admitting
to dismembering his wife's body. Take a listen to
At some point,
did you start to cut the body of Momta Casa?
Yes.
What did you, what do you remember about that?
Just make a smaller size so that it fit on the can.
You were trying to do what?
Lower body apart.
Lower body apart.
Lower her body apart?
Yes.
What do you mean by lower?
Like separate the legs from the body.
Okay.
This is a bombshell development in the case
that has been five weeks at trial for this jury.
This is after Naresh Bhat told police multiple times.
There was multiple police body cam video evidence
also played where he told police, again, multiple times,
that he did not know where his wife was.
He testified on the stand this morning
to going to bed the night of July 29th of 2024
and waking up the next morning to find his wife on the ground.
One which he described to the court was covered
with vomit around her face, believing that
there was also pills inside of her vomit,
explaining essentially to the court as he's
being walked through with the defense attorney,
explaining to the court that it was believed
suicide was the reason for his wife's death.
And he claims he also tried to take his life
in those moments before making the decision
to discard her body.
We're going to have more guys,
the very latest for you coming up on Fox five, but that is
a development at this time.
