A 36-year-old woman from Hyderabad was found murdered in Australia and her husband, who allegedly killed her, flew back to the city and handed over their child to her parents.

The body of Chaithanya Madhagani was found in a wheelie bin on the side of a road in Buckley on Saturday, according to reports. She lived with her husband and son in Australia.

According to Uppal MLA Bandari Lakshma Reddy, since the woman was from his constituency, he met her parents today after being informed about the matter.

The legislator told news agency PTI that at the request of the woman's parents, he wrote a letter to the Foreign Office to bring the woman's body to Hyderabad. The MLA said he also informed the office of Union Minister G Kishan Reddy about this.
