Woman kills husband with axe over domestic row in Kalaburagi

The murder was reported from Kodali village in Kalagi taluk of the district

A 32-year-old man named Nagendra Kashappa Mudhol was killed by his wife Sudharani Nagendra Mudhol in a domestic dispute at Kodali village in Kalagi taluk of Kalaburagi district on Sunday. The incident occurred in the village of Nagendra's birthplace, Yaddalli, within Sedam taluk.

Sudharani, who is accused of murder, and Nagendra were reportedly involved in an ongoing domestic argument. The husband, known to be an alcohol addict, was prone to frequent disagreements with family members. During the altercation on Sunday, Nagendra threatened to harm their two young children, aged six and eight.

As tensions escalated, Sudharani allegedly lost control and attacked Nagendra with an axe. The force of the attack proved fatal, as the 32-year-old man succumbed to his severe injuries on the spot. Sudharani, displaying remorse for her actions, promptly surrendered to the police.

The Ratkal Police registered a murder case against Sudharani under Section 103 of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS). The investigation into the incident has been initiated.
