Hyderabad: Woman, kin held for murdering husband

Hyderabad: In yet another incident of wife killing the husband, the Kachiguda police arrested a woman, her brother and two brothers-in-law for plotting and bludgeoning the husband on the railway tracks to make it look like a suicide.

Later, a missing case was filed at the police station by the wife. However, the body was identified and the wife was called for interrogation where she confessed to have killed him with the help of relatives as he was harassing her and the kids for money to buy alcohol.

The woman, identified as Devapally Jamuna, 30, of Karnataka, was married to Devapally Srinivas alias Yellaiah and was working as a maid in Methar Basthi of Kachiguda.

Her brother, Dattha Shanker Telang, 23, and her brothers-in-law Raju Babu Rao Telang, 43, and Rajender Kishan Telang, 31, helped her in murdering Yellaiah last year.

A missing case was registered at the Kachiguda police station by Jamuna on August 1, 2017. A case was registered and investigation began. 

“While the case was still under investigation, his body was found on the railway track near Nimboliadda Bridge by the railway police. He was arrested earlier in a theft case by Malakpet and Rajend-ranagar police. 

Accordingly, the Secti-ons were altered from missing to murder  case and an investigation was taken up on August 14, 2017,” said Kachi-guda police inspector K. Satyanarayana.

It was revealed that Jamuna had married one Kishan 16 years ago and after three years she came to Hyderabad in search of employment and started working as a labourer. After three years, she came into contact with Yellaiah, left her husband and moved in with him. After a few days, Yellaiah left his work and started harassing her for money to consume liquor.  

On Tuesday, based on information, Kachiguda police took Jamuna and others into police custody and, following their confession, arrested them and send them in judicial remand.
