NEW DELHI: Police have arrested the husband of the pregnant woman who was gagged and strangled to death in Chhawla, southwest Delhi, on Thursday. The accused husband, Latif, had fallen in love with another woman and wanted to marry her. When the victim objected to his intentions, Latif planned to eliminate his wife, a police officer said.
"Latif's statements were contradictory and he finally confessed to having murdered his wife. He even tried to stage the murder as a robbery gone bad," said AK Ojha, addl CP southwest. Latif and Fatima had got married in 2006 but their marital life had run into troubled waters recently. Fatima had reportedly created a scene after Latif had confessed his intention of marrying another woman.
Latif then decided to eliminate nine-month pregnant Fatima by strangling her in sleep. After suffocating his wife to death, Latif tied himself up and threw articles across his room to suggest that his wife was murdered by unknown people during a robbery attempt.
However, Latif's father-in-law told police that he could be behind the incident as the couple had been having frequent arguments lately. Latif tried to mislead police initially, but he finally confessed his crime.
