YAVATMAL: An inebriated man axed his wife to death and fled the scene after bolting the door of the house in Rohile Baba slum area of Vanjari Phail on Wednesday evening.
According to police, the accused Prakash Thakur (50) went out in the morning and returned home in the evening in an inebriated condition. When he returned, his wife Manda (45) was not in the house which irked him. He was waiting for her to come. When she returned, he picked up a verbal duel with her. He was suspecting her fidelity and often thrashed and abused her by saying that she had illicit relationship with another man in the neighbourhood.
As altercation between them escalated, the accused picked up an axe and attacked wife. She collapsed and died on the spot. On seeing the lifeless body of his wife, Prakash took to his heels after locking his house.
Their son Govind was playing outside at the time of the incident. He found the door locked on his return. He peeped into the room and found his mother lying in a pool of blood. He alerted the neighbours who rushed to the house.
Govind reported the matter to the city police station. The cops reached the spot and broke open the door. They conducted spot panchnama and sent the body for postmortem at Government Medical College.
City police have registered an offence under section 302 of IPC against Prakash and seized the blood-stained axe from the house. The police are yet to arrest the accused.
SDPO Lata Fad said that they are investigating the incident and added that the accused would be nabbed soon.
