Domestic violence turns gory, husband booked for murder

The police booked a man for the murder of his wife at Maloya today.

The deceased was identified as Priyanka and the accused as Ramesh (35).

The victim was taken to the GMSH-16 by her family members where they told the doctors that she accidentally wounded herself while cutting vegetables at home. The doctors declared her brought dead. However, discrepancies in the narrative raised a suspicion prompting the hospital authorities to alert the police.

Upon closer examination and preliminary findings, the police dismissed the claim of accidental injury. The woman’s father-in-law and the couple’s three children later admitted that the fatal wound was resultant of a fight between Ramesh and Priyanka.
