Another cyclone heads Andhra Pradesh’s way; landfall likely on Monday

A 29-year-old woman from Tangedikonda village in Polavaram mandal, Andhra Pradesh, died after being repeatedly stabbed by her stalker in her rented accommodation in Jangareddygudem, Eluru district. The incident occurred on Friday evening when the stalker, Ramakrishna, entered her home and attacked her with a knife. Ramakrishna, who allegedly resided in the same village, fled the scene after the assault.

Police inspector M V Subhash revealed that the victim, who worked at a bakery, was initially taken to the Jangareddigudem area hospital before being transferred to a private hospital in Rajamahendravaram. In a statement recorded before her death, the victim accused Ramakrishna, whom she had known but had recently developed differences with, of stabbing her in the name of love.

The preliminary investigation indicated that the victim and Ramakrishna had a prior relationship, but the exact trigger for the attack remains unknown. Police registered a murder case and are currently investigating the incident.
