Man kills wife for not serving food on time
Thiruvananthapuram: Police on Thursday arrested a man for hacking his wife to death for allegedly not serving him food on time. The incident took place at Kalliyoor on Wednesday night. Police identified the deceased as Bincy of Kunnathuvila Veedu, Kalliyoor. Her husband, Sunil R, 41, has been booked under Section 103 (1) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita for murder. According to police, the crime came to light only on Thursday morning after neighbours came looking for Bincy. The couple's two children, aged 7 and 9, who were in the house at the time, were unaware of the murder. They went to bed early on Wednesday night, and the next morning the accused sent them to school, telling them their mother was sleeping due to fever. After they left, he cleaned the bloodstains on the floor and the machete used in the attack. Sunil then lingered near the house until neighbours discovered her body. He even accompanied them in hospitalizing her. However, during questioning, he confessed to killing her while under the influence of alcohol. Sunil came home at 11pm on Wednesday after work and found Bincy using her mobile phone. He became annoyed that she had not served him food and continued using the phone. This led to a heated argument, and the accused hacked her on the head with a machete," said a police officer. Sunil was a daily-wage worker and Bincy a homemaker. "Sunil was an alcoholic and neighbours said the couple often quarrelled over his drinking," added the officer. Stay updated with the latest local news from your city on Times of India (TOI).
