In a shocking incident, a man shot dead his wife following an argument and allegedly died by suicide at nearby Kanathur on Saturday, police said.

Forty four-year-old Vijayan pulled the trigger on his wife Baby (37) in a fit of anger after an argument and later resorted to the extreme step in the afternoon.

The woman, who was shot on the head, died on the spot.

Soon after committing the crime, Vijayan hanged himself from a tree in the compound, police sources said.

He used a country made gun to attack his wife, they said.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
