The wife died after being hit by her husband’s knife. A gruesome murder from a minor family dispute. The murder took place in Kundida village near Baijhal under Serang police station limits. In a family dispute, the husband took the wife’s life away from the common quarrel between the husband and wife. There was an argument between the two over the mother’s taking her to the hospital for treatment as her daughter’s health was poor. Later, her husband, Ilan, attacked his wife, Gudi. The woman ran out of the house in fear. The accused, Ilan, then chased him and stabbed his wife on the road. The boy and daughter, who were present at the time of the incident, were left speechless. Seeing his mother falling on the road, Akash’s son ran and sought the help of the villagers. But by the time the villagers arrived, my life was blown away.

The villagers told the police where the body was, so the police went there and found the dagger there. They then took the body to the Paralakhemundi headquarters hospital for an autopsy. While the police have launched a probe into the matter, preliminary investigations have revealed that the murder took place due to a family dispute, said Ashok Kumar Hansda, officer-in-charge of Serang police station.
