NEW DELHI: A 37-year-old rickshaw puller stoned his wife to death following an argument over an illicit affair. The murder took place in the early hours of Thursday morning in the presence of the couple's children.
The incident was reported from the Holambi Kalan area in outer Delhi. After killing his wife, Phoolwati (34), the accused, Devender Dass, turned himself in at the police post at Metro Vihar. The couple had tied the knot 12 years ago.
"For the first nine years of their married life, they didn't have a child. Three years ago, Phoolwati gave birth to a son. They had a daughter last year. Devender suspected his wife of having an extra-marital affair and the couple often fought over the issue. On Wednesday night, Devender asked Phoolwati for some money to buy alcohol. A tiff ensued which soon turned into a heated argument over the alleged illicit relationship. Enraged, Dass attacked his wife with bricks and stones killing her on the spot," said a police officer.
Cops rushed to the residence after Dass's three-year-old son confirmed the sequence of events. "It seems that the incident took place around 1.30 am. The postmortem report will establish the exact sequence of events," said an investigating officer. A case of murder has been lodged at the Shahbad Dairy police station.
