Man kills wife for objecting to affair

He was happily married for six years until one day when he found himself falling in love with another woman and even went to the extent of seeking his wife’s permission to marry.

But the love story had an anti-climax as the 25-year-old man landed himself behind bars after killing his wife with whom he had fathered a boy. The woman’s crime was that she had rejected his ‘indecent’ proposal.

Latif and Fatima had tied the knot in 2006 and were living in Deen Pur village in Chhawla area here. The couple’s happy life came to an end after the man fell in love with his wife’s relative.

Latif allegedly killed Fatima on Wednesday after she created a ruckus and picked up an argument following his confession that he wanted to marry her relative.

To mislead his family, Latif hatched a conspiracy to make the incident look like as if his wife was murdered by unknown people during a robbery attempt.

But, Latif was not lucky. His father-in-law told police that Latif could have behind the death of his daughter as the couple had been picking up arguments of late.

Though Latif tried misleading police initially, he later confessed to have killed his wife after an argument. During investigation, police came to know that Latif had strained relation with his wife over the issue of marrying another woman. On Wednesday, according to police, Latif raised the issue of his second marriage with his wife and when she resisted the idea, he decided to kill her when she was asleep.

‘His contradictory statements were exposed and finally he broke down. He confessed to have murdered his wife and concocted the incident by showing it as a robbery,’ a senior police official said.


MAN KILLED FOR ‘MEDDLING’

A 40-year-old man, who intervened in an argument, was stabbed to death in south-east Delhi, police said on Friday. He was stabbed by five persons of two different groups, who were arguing amongst themselves. Of the five accused, four have been arrested while one is still absconding.

The deceased was identified as Pawan. The incident took place near his residence in Madangiri area of Ambedkar Nagar. Late on Thursday night, a heated argument was taking place between two groups. Pawan tried to sort out the matter, but was brutally murdered.

According to the police,  one Naresh had an argument with a few persons. Later, when he went back his house, a group of five people entered his residence and started beating up him and his family members. 

Pawan, neighbour to Naresh, intervened and was beaten up. The group then  stabbed Pawan with a knief they were carrying with them.

He was immediately rushed to a nearby hospital, where he was declared dead on arrival. A case of murder has been registered against the five. They have been identified as Darpan, Ajay, Vijay, Mahesh and Mohan. All are residents of Amedkar Nagar.

Darpan, Ajay, Vijay and Mahesh have been arrested but Mohan is still absconding. 'A man-hunt has been carried out to nab Pawan. The body of Pawan has been sent for post-mortem,' the official added.
