Woman held for killing relative who ‘raped’ her after husband’s death

“The shirtless body of a man with sharp weapon injury marks on neck and abdomen was found at the spot,” said the DCP. The police identified the deceased as Abujar, 20. After scrutinising around 20 CCTV cameras, the police zeroed in on the two accused.

Tirkey said, “The accused woman’s husband died due to illness in January this year and he was related to Abujar. According to the woman, Abujar raped her multiple times, and more frequently after her husband’s death”.

The police said she wanted to take revenge and freedom from Abujar and approached a close friend’s husband, who agreed to help her. “The woman took Abujar near Bela Farm to watch the overflowing Yamuna river. There, she and her accomplice stabbed him to death. They threw the body behind the wall at Bela Farm,” said Tirkey, who added that the knife used in the crime was recovered.
