Though the reason behind the heinous act is yet to be known, it is suspected that the husband’s mental illness led to the incident.
The deceased has been identified as Parul Bibi and the accused as Sd Munad Alli.
According to information, Munad had once attempted to commit suicide by hanging. However, his life could be saved after a medical treatment with support of villagers. Since then, he has been suffering from some kind of mental disorder.
On Wednesday evening, he, as usual, returned home after collecting wood from a nearby jungle. Late in the night, a quarrel ensued between him and his wife over some issue. In a fit of rage, Munad dragged out an axe and attacked Parul with it. She reportedly died on the spot, getting deep injuries in various parts of her body.
Though villagers rushed him to the Patkura hospital, doctors declared him brought dead.
Police have sent the body for post-mortem and started investigation.
