Bengaluru: A woman and a man with whom she was allegedly in a relationship have been arrested for murdering her husband by strangling him and passing off the death as a heart attack in Bengaluru.
The incident took place at Doddathoguru on Bettadasanapura Main Road, within the limits of Electronic City police station, on October 12. The deceased’s brother lodged a complaint stating that his brother had slipped and fallen while going to the bathroom and died of a heart attack. Based on the complaint, the police initially registered an unnatural death report (UDR).
However, the post-mortem examination report raised suspicion about the circumstances surrounding the death. The police began investigating the case from different angles and summoned a man for questioning on November 5.
During interrogation, he allegedly revealed that he was in a relationship with the deceased’s wife. Her husband had discovered their relationship and warned both of them. The two allegedly decided to murder him, considering him an obstacle to their relationship.
In the early hours of October 12, the accused allegedly strangled the victim and suffocated him by covering his nose and mouth. They then claimed that he had slipped and fallen while going to the bathroom and died of a heart attack, in an attempt to conceal the murder.
The police took the deceased’s wife into custody from her residence at Doddathoguru on November 6. She allegedly confessed to her involvement in the murder during interrogation. The unnatural death case was subsequently converted into a murder case.
Both accused were produced before a court on November 6 and taken into seven days of police custody. Investigation is under progress.
The case was detected by a team led by Electronic City Police Inspector Azruddin under the guidance of Deputy Commissioner of Police M Narayana (Electronic City Division) and Assistant Commissioner of Police KM Satish (Electronic City Sub-Division).
