Patna Woman Confesses to Killing Live-in Partner in Fit of Rage

On September 25th, 2025, a 28-year-old woman named Pooja Kumari allegedly killed her 30-year-old live-in partner, Murari Kumar, in a rented flat in Patna's Chiraiyatand locality. According to the police, Pooja bludgeoned Murari's head with a grinding stone and an iron rod while he was asleep.

The incident occurred after a heated argument between the couple. Pooja, who had been living with her six-year-old daughter in the rented flat after separating from her husband, had been pressuring Murari, a truck driver from Mokama, to get married. However, Murari had been delaying the marriage, leading to frequent arguments between the two.

In a fit of rage, Pooja picked up a grinding stone and struck Murari multiple times, killing him on the spot. After the incident, Pooja remained calm and sat beside Murari's body for hours before calling the police to confess her crime. She was subsequently arrested and remanded to judicial custody.

The police have access to call recordings and Pooja's confession, which corroborates the sequence of events. At the time of the incident, Pooja's daughter and another 15-year-old girl were asleep in a separate room.
