In a horrific incident that has shaken the Mahuwari Mathiya village community, a woman was brutally murdered by her husband in front of their three young children late Friday night. The gruesome crime occurred in the Tarwan police station area of Azamgarh district, revealing disturbing details about domestic violence and family disputes.
The Midnight Horror
According to police officials, the accused husband, identified as Sunil, allegedly attacked his wife Sunita Yadav during a violent altercation around midnight. The argument escalated to the point where Sunil thrashed his wife and then slit her throat using a kitchen knife, all while their three children watched in terror.
Despite Sunita's desperate cries for help during the attack, none of the neighbors intervened to stop the violence or come to her rescue. The children, traumatized by witnessing their mother's murder, later alerted relatives after their father left the scene.
Police Investigation and Arrest
Azamgarh ASP (City) Madhuvan Kumar Singh confirmed that Tarwan police lodged a murder case based on the complaint filed by Sunita Yadav's family. The police acted swiftly and managed to track down Sunil when he was attempting to flee the area.
Police teams successfully arrested Sunil in the Kamhariya area while he was searching for a vehicle to escape. During interrogation, the accused provided information that led to the recovery of the kitchen knife used in the fatal attack on his wife.
Eighteen Years of Marriage Ends in Tragedy
Sunita's brother, Triveni Yadav from Roshanpur village, revealed that his sister had been married to Sunil for 18 years before this tragic end. The long-term marriage suggests the family dispute that led to the murder had been brewing for some time, though specific details about the nature of the conflict remain under investigation.
ASP Madhuvan Kumar Singh stated that preliminary investigations indicate the murder resulted from an ongoing family dispute. The police are continuing their investigation to uncover the complete sequence of events and the specific triggers that led to this extreme violence.
The tragic incident highlights the serious issue of domestic violence in rural areas and raises questions about community response to such emergencies. The case continues to develop as police gather more evidence and statements from witnesses and family members.
