Wife murders husband for justifying his new affair

Machilipatnam, May 22: In a shocking incident, a woman hacked her husband to death at their residence in Machilipatnam town of Krishna district on Sunday.

The incident occurred at around 2 pm, when Bharatam Muralidhar (40), a real estate agent, was in a heated argument with his wife Divya Lata (38).

In a fit of rage, Lata threw chilli powder on Muralidhar's eyes and struck him with a sickle on the centre of his head. Muralidhar died on the spot. Soon after, Divya alerted the Robertsonpet police and said that she had murdered her husband.

Sub-inspector Ashok Baasha rushed to the spot and examined the crime scene. He found Muralidhar's body in a pool of blood on the bed with chilli powder sprinkled all over the place.
