A domestic dispute turned deadly in a Firozabad village on Tuesday. A 45-year-old woman lost her life in a brutal attack allegedly carried out by her own husband.
Violent Argument Ends in Tragedy
Police officials reported the incident from Nagla Nande village in the Firozabad district. The victim, identified as Lata Devi, was killed by her husband, Ashutosh Singh, who is 50 years old.
According to initial information, the couple engaged in a heated argument at their home. The disagreement quickly escalated into violence. Singh allegedly used a sharp-edged weapon to slit his wife's throat during the altercation.
Neighbors Hear Commotion and Intervene
Neighbors rushed to the house after hearing loud noises and commotion. They discovered a horrifying scene upon arrival. Singh was sitting beside his wife's lifeless body.
The neighbors immediately informed local authorities about the incident. Police personnel responded swiftly to the location.
Police Investigation and Arrest
Sirsaganj circle officer Anivesh Singh led the response team to the crime scene. The field unit collected crucial evidence from the house. They documented the scene thoroughly before moving the body for a post-mortem examination.
Authorities took the accused husband into custody at the location. A formal murder case has been registered based on a complaint filed by the woman's family members.
Background of Marital Discord
Neighbors provided additional context to investigating officers. They revealed that the couple's relationship had been strained for approximately one year.
The marital troubles reportedly began after their 20-year-old son faced legal troubles. The young man was jailed in Delhi in connection with a theft case. This family crisis apparently created ongoing tension between the husband and wife.
Police continue to investigate the exact sequence of events that led to Tuesday's violent outcome. They are examining all aspects of the case while the accused remains in custody.
