Mandya: A man in Nagamangala town allegedly killed his wife, attacking her with a lethal weapon on Wednesday morning, as he suspected her of having committed adultery.

The husband-wife duo has been identified as Manjunath and Madhushree (25), natives of Karadahalli, who lived in a rented house on Mulakatte Road in TB Layout, Nagamangala. They were married five years ago and have a four-year-old son, Manvith. Manjunath worked in Bengaluru and visited his wife and son once a week.

Of late, Manjunath was suspecting his wife to be adulterous, which had resulted in frequent fights between the couple. On Tuesday afternoon, Manjunath returned home from Bengaluru on the occasion of Independence Day. Following a round of argument between husband and wife, Manjunath allegedly stabbed his wife in the stomach with a lethal weapon and made away with his son.

The incident came to light when a neighbor Madhu visited them on Wednesday morning.

Budapest/Washington: US Vice President J D Vance has said that Lebanon was never included in the ceasefire understanding with Iran, describing the confusion as a “legitimate misunderstanding”.

Speaking to reporters before departing from Hungary, Vance said, “I think the Iranians thought that the ceasefire included Lebanon and it just didn’t. We never made that promise.”

He stressed that the United States had not included Lebanon in the scope of the ceasefire at any stage.

His remarks come amid continued Israeli strikes in Lebanon, where more than 200 people were reported killed, even as ceasefire talks between Iran and the US move forward.

Vance said Israel had “offered … to check themselves a little bit in Lebanon because they want to make sure that our negotiation is successful”.

He warned that if Iran allows the situation in Lebanon to affect the negotiations, it could derail the talks.

“If Iran wants to let this negotiation fall apart in a conflict where they were getting hammered over Lebanon, which has nothing to do with them and which the United States never once said was part of the ceasefire, that’s ultimately their choice,” he said.
