Man in Mudigere kills wife after fighting with her in drunken state; detained by police
Chikkamagaluru: A man living in Kirugunda village of Mudigere taluk allegedly fought with his wife Padmakshi (40) in a state of inebriation and ended up hacking her to death on Friday night. The local police officers have detained the accused.
The husband, Chandru, is learned to have returned home at the SC/ST Layout in Kirugunda at night, after drinking, which upset his wife and led to the argument between the couple. As the fight between them in the front yard of the house intensified, Chandru, infuriated on being questioned by his wife, attacked her with a sickle. Padmakshi, who was grievously injured due to the attack, is learned to have died in the front yard at night.
Chandru, unaware that his wife had died, spent the night inside the house and learned of the matter when he came out in the morning.
A case has been registered at the Gonibeedu Police Station and the officers, who visited the SC/ST Layout during investigation, have detained Chandru.
