A 23-year-old man allegedly strangled his wife to death, suspecting her of cheating on him, in front of their two-year-old daughter here, police said.

Accused Kamil resident of Shakir Ki Dandi walked into the Kamla Market Police Station in the early hours of Sunday and confessed to police that he beat his wife up, murdered her by strangulation and her body is laying at his home at second floor, said additional DCP A K Lal (northwest), adding that the police found Reshma's (22) body which had already turned bluish.

"It was learnt he had killed her on Friday and kept sitting with the body on Saturday as he was in a state of confusion on whether to dump it somewhere or confess to his crime," he said.

Kamil told police he was inebriated and had a quarrel with Reshma on Friday over her friendship with two men, the officer said. — TNS
