Tumakuru: A forty-year-old labourer named Shivaram allegedly beheaded his wife Pushpalatha, 35, at Huliyurudurga town of Kunigal taluk in Karnataka after she failed to offer him dinner on Monday evening. The couple's eight-year-old son was asleep when his father allegedly killed his wife.
The accused, who got arrested, had cut off his wife's head with a machete, cut some of her body parts, and kept skinning her body until morning. After committing the heinous crime, the accused informed his landlord about the crime.
Amrithuru police inspector Madya Naik said the woman's body was so severely disfigured that her son couldn't identify his mother.
The accused married the deceased 10 years ago after they met at a workplace. However, their relationship reportedly became sour due to frequent fights as the deceased used to speak over the phone with her acquaintance and the accused suspected her of having an extra-marital affair.
