The Neredmet police on Sunday arrested a woman for murdering her husband with her lover’s help.
Yellamma alias Lakshmi, 29, allegedly killed her husband, Pallapu Mahesh, 35, a resident of Vadderbasthi in Addagutta, with the help of one Satyanaryana, 31, with whom she has an illicit relationship, inspector N Chandra Babu said.
The investigation began after Mahesh’s body was recovered from Ammuguda Banda Cheruvu in Neredmet on January 11 with head injuries.
The police grilled Yellamma after the husband’s relatives approached them as they had not heard from him for a couple of days. Yellamma broke down during the interrogation and confessed her guilt, the inspector said.
“Mahesh, an auto-driver who was a habitual drunkard often picks up quarrels over family issues with his wife and beat her. Vexed with his behaviour of continuous harassing, she along with Satyanarayana (sister’s husband) conspired to eliminate Mahesh. As per Yellamma’s instruction, Satyanarayana took Mahesh to Ammuguda Banda Cheruvu in Neredmet area on January 10 and made him consume alcohol up to sedation and took him to a secluded place and killed him mercilessly by bludgeoning his head with a boulder,” the inspector said.
A case of murder has been registered under Section 302 (murder) of the IPC against Yellamma and Satyanarayana and they have been remanded to judicial custody. (INN)
