Bengaluru man kills wife with knife she kept for self-defence
Bengaluru: A 28-year-old choreographer was allegedly murdered by her husband at their Vishweshwaraiah Layout residence after he overheard her discussing their marital problems during a video call with a male friend. The incident took place late on Tuesday night.
The victim, B Navyashree, and her husband, Kiran, 31, had been facing marital discord since their marriage in 2021. The situation escalated on the night of the murder when Kiran, who had left home a week prior, re-entered the house using a duplicate key while Navyashree was away.
According to police, Kiran hid in the puja room after entering the house at around 9:50 PM. Navyashree returned home with a friend, Aishwarya, around 11 PM. After dinner, while Aishwarya was asleep, Navyashree made a video call to a male friend in the hall, during which she complained about Kiran’s behaviour and his struggles with an inferiority complex due to her rising career.
After the call, Navyashree encountered Kiran, who accused her of having an affair. A heated argument ensued, during which Kiran threatened to kill her. Fearing for her life, Navyashree retrieved a knife from the kitchen for self-defence and went back to bed, holding the knife.
Later, Kiran struck Navyashree on the head with an iron rod, waking her up. In the ensuing struggle, Kiran managed to seize the knife from her and fatally slit her throat.
Aishwarya, who was asleep beside Navyashree, was unaware of the attack until she woke up the following morning to find her friend lying in a pool of blood. Kiran was arrested the same day.
