The Meghalaya Police earlier claimed that all the accused have confessed to the crime.
Two of the three men who helped Sonam Raghuvanshi murder her husband Raja Raghuvanshi in Meghalaya last month have retracted their earlier "confessions" and refused to testify against themselves before the magistrate, police said.
Herbert Pyniaid Kharkongor, who is the Shillong City Superintendent of Police and is heading the Special Investigation Team (SIT) that is probing the murder, said Akash Rajput and Anand Kurmi remained silent and refused to make any statements when they were produced before the magistrate on Thursday.
"We sent only two of the (five) accused to the magistrate. They did not want to make any statement. We have ample material evidence against them. We are also waiting for the FSL (Forensic Science Laboratory) report," Mr Kharkongor said.
