A woman was arrested for killing her drunkard husband, said the police.<\/p>\n
She allegedly strangled him first, then smashed his face with a stone and cut his body into two pieces to haul it far away from her house, they said.<\/p>\n
According to Belagavi Superintendent of Police Bhimashankar Guled, the pieces of the body of 40-year-old Srimantha Itnali were found on December 10 in Umarani village, Chikkodi taluk of Belagavi.<\/p>\n
“A three-member team led by the deputy superintendent of police camped in the village and investigated the case,” said the SP, addressing a press meet on Thursday.<\/p>\n
After a false start, they zeroed in on the wife, Savithri, and she was brought to the station for questioning.<\/p>\n
“Initially, she didn’t agree but later she confessed to her crime,” added the SP.<\/p>\n
According to him, the incident took place on December 8.<\/p>\n
The man, a drunkard, often used to abuse his wife for money, said the police.<\/p>\n
On the day of the murder, he was fighting with her over a piece of land she owned.<\/p>\n
“He wanted his wife to sell the land and buy him a new motorbike.” Unable to take it anymore, the wife had allegedly confessed that she killed him that night while he was sleeping outside.<\/p>\n
“She first strangled him and when he was unconscious, used a boulder lying nearby to smash his face. She then disposed of the boulder in a well,” the SP said.<\/p>\n
To make it easy for transportation, she cut the body into two pieces, and carried it in a barrel.<\/p>\n
“She disposed of the barrels too in the well, later,” added Guled.<\/p>\n
The accused has been taken into custody.<\/p>\n
