An inebriated husband in Shamshabad on late Thursday night allegedly murdered his wife.
According to Shamshabad police, the deceased, Mangamma, 30, went to the local market, which is organized every Thursday, taking Rs.500 from her husband Yadaiah. But she accidentally lost the money, which angered Yadaiah.
He came home in a drunken state on Thursday night and started beating her with a blunt object.
A seriously injured Mangamma succumbed to her injuries later.
Yadaiah, who works in a farm house, married Mangamma a few months ago after she was left by her first husband.
Police have taken Yadaiah into custodu and are questioning him. A case under section 302(Murder) of the IPC was registered.
