The husband of a woman whose body was found in a dustbin has reportedly returned to India with their son and dumped the boy with his mother-in-law.
Chaithanya ‘Swetha’ Madhagani, 30, was found dead in a green bin on Mount Pollock Road in Buckley, 108km south-west of Melbourne, about 12pm on Saturday.
No arrests have been made in connection with her death, while two crime scenes have been established by police – one on Mount Pollock Road and another 82km away at a residential address in Mirka Wat in Point Cook, Melbourne.
Mrs Madhagani’s husband, Ashok Raj Varikuppala, is believed to have recently flown back to India with their three-year-old son Arya, Herald Sun reported.
Indian police spokesman Inspector Veera Swamy of the Kushaiguda police station said “her husband visited the mother-in-law a few days ago and handed over her son to him”.
‘Then he left. No one from the family has registered any complaint against anyone yet. We help with investigations if someone approaches.
‘At this time we do not know where he is as we are not investigating the case without any complaint.’
There is no indication of any wrongdoing by Mr. Varikuppala.

The body of Chaithanya ‘Swetha’ Madhagani, 30, was found stuffed in a green bin on Mount Pollock Road in Buckley, west of Geelong, at 12 noon on Saturday.
The green bin was found partially hidden in rural shrubbery
Victoria Police said in a statement about the mother’s death: ‘It is believed that the parties involved are known to each other and the offender may have fled overseas.’
Friends have since described Mrs Madhagani as ‘a perfect woman and a perfect mother’ who lived for her young son.
Madhagani often cooked and shared food and invited people into her home, friends said.
A neighbor said Madhagani was ‘one of the sweetest girls ever’.
‘Everyone wants Swetha in their life. She was full of life – I can’t believe she’s gone.’
Another neighbor said he was ‘in disbelief’ at the news and that his son had attended a birthday party for the couple’s child.
He had known the family for three years,
“They’re a very good, lovely family, I’ve never seen them argue,” he said.
Another local recalled walking in the area on Friday and noticing a pungent smell that he assumed was a dead sheep.
