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.

Panaji (PTI): As part of a crackdown against tourist establishments violating laws and safety norms in the aftermath of the Arpora fire tragedy, Goa authorities on Saturday sealed a renowned club at Vagator and revoked the fire department NOC of another club.
Cafe CO2 Goa, located on a cliff overlooking the Arabian Sea at Vagator beach in North Goa, was sealed. The move came two days after Goya Club, also in Vagator, was shut down for alleged violations of rules.
Elsewhere, campaigning for local body polls, AAP leader Arvind Kejriwal said the fire incident at Birch by Romeo Lane nightclub at Arpora, which claimed 25 lives on December 6, happened because the BJP government in the state was corrupt.
An inspection of Cafe CO2 Goa by a state government-appointed team revealed that the establishment, with a seating capacity of 250, did not possess a no-objection certificate (NOC) of the Fire and Emergency Services Department. The club, which sits atop Ozrant Cliff, also did not have structural stability, the team found.
The Fire and Emergency Services on Saturday also revoked the NOC issued to Diaz Pool Club and Bar at Anjuna as the fire extinguishers installed in the establishment were found to be inadequate, said divisional fire officer Shripad Gawas.
A notice was issued to Nitin Wadhwa, the partner of the club, he said in the order.
Campaigning at Chimbel village near Panaji in support of his party's Zilla Panchayat election candidate, Aam Aadmi Party leader Kejriwal said the nightclub fire at Arpora happened because of the "corruption of the Pramod Sawant-led state government."
"Why this fire incident happened? I read in the newspapers that the nightclub had no occupancy certificate, no building licence, no excise licence, no construction licence or trade licence. The entire club was illegal but still it was going on," he said.
"How could it go on? Couldn't Pramod Sawant or anyone else see it? I was told that hafta (bribe) was being paid," the former Delhi chief minister said.
A person can not work without bribing officials in the coastal state, Kejriwal said, alleging that officers, MLAs and even ministers are accepting bribes.
