Hyderabad: In a shocking murder reported from Telangana, a woman in Nizamabad district allegedly killed her husband to pave for marriage with her paramour by injecting toilet cleaner through a cannula while he was undergoing medical treatment, police said on Monday.
The murder came to light after the mother of the deceased, who had been working in the Gulf, lodged a police complaint and expressed doubts about her daughter-in-law.
The deceased has been identified as Prasanth, 35. According to his mother, who filed a complaint on July 1, she came to know about the death of her son, who works in a Gulf country, on June 30.
The woman claimed that she was not even aware of her son's visit to home and the events preceding his death while expressing doubts about her daughter-in-law, Sandhya.
Subsequent investigation by the police revealed that Sandhya, 32 had an illicit affair with one Anil, 35 and both had planned to eliminate Prasanth.
According to the police, the couple sought the help of one Venkata Sai to implement their plans to kill Prasanth. Sai went to Prasanth's residence on June 29 and made him consume a lot of liquor. He then took Prasanth to the terrace of the building and pushed him as per the instructions of Sandhya over the phone, police said. However, Prasanth suffered serious injuries but did not die as per police.
Sandhya and Sai, as per police, took Prasanth to a government hospital for treatment and then shifted him to a private hospital but later brought him home.
At their home, Sandhya, on Anil's directions, injected a toilet cleaner and anaesthesia medicine into Prasanth through a cannula, police said. She then pushed Prasanth down from the cot, which led to his death, it added.
Police said that the accused trio voluntarily admitted their crime during the investigation and were arrested and produced before a court, which remanded them to jail.
