Mother-Daughter Duo Murders Husband Over Affair
20 Nov
Summary
- Wife and mother murdered husband due to his objections to her affair.
- Couple attempted to stage the death as a suicide but relatives suspected foul play.
- The duo confessed to assaulting and strangling the man to death.
A chilling crime unfolded in Tiruvannamalai district, where a 25-year-old woman, V Sharmila, and her mother, Rani Fathima, 50, are accused of murdering Sharmila's husband, S Vijay. The motive reportedly stemmed from Vijay's objections to his wife's extramarital affair. The couple had been married for five years and had two young children.
Vijay, a lorry driver, often traveled for work, during which time his wife allegedly had a visitor. Neighbors informed Vijay about this, leading to frequent quarrels over suspected infidelity. The fatal confrontation occurred recently when Sharmila and her mother allegedly attacked Vijay with a wooden log and an iron rod, ultimately strangling him with a rope.
The accused pair initially attempted to conceal the murder by making it appear as a suicide. However, Vijay's relatives grew suspicious and reported the matter to the Chetpet police. Following an investigation, the daughter-mother duo confessed to the crime and have been arrested.
