Hyderabad: A 35-year-old woman allegedly killed her husband by injecting toilet cleaner into his veins in Nyalkal, Nizamabad district. She, her lover and the deceased’s friend were arrested on Saturday, July 4.
According to the Nizamabad Rural Police Circle Inspector, the murder took place on June 30. Sandhya and Prasanth were married for over ten years. Two years ago, he went to Dubai to find work. During this time, she developed a romantic relationship with Anil.
Speaking to Siasat.com, the police officer said that Prasanth’s arrival on June 28 disturbed her and she feared her relationship with Anil would be exposed.
Sandhya then allegedly contacted Prasanth’s friend, Venkata Sai, and falsely told him that Prasanth was using their daughter for unlawful activities. Believing her claims, Venkata Sai allegedly agreed to become part of the murder plot.
A day before the murder, she and Venkata Sai pushed a heavily inebriated Prasanth from their house. However, he survived the fall with minor injuries.
Sandhya and Venkata Sai took Prasanth to a government hospital for treatment. They then shifted him to a private hospital but later brought him home.
After the failed attempt, Sandhya decided to kill her husband with the help of Anil. “On June 30, she crushed anaesthesia tablets into a paste and injected it into Prasanth. Around half an hour later, she and Anil injected a toilet cleaner into his veins, ultimately leading to his death,” the officer said.
Sandhya used to work as a nurse and hence knew how to use injections, the police officer said, adding that Prasanth had no idea about his wife’s extramarital affair.
The post-mortem report confirmed Prasanth’s death was not accidental but more. Sandhya and Anil were taken for questioning, where they confessed to the crime. Venkata Sai was also arrested.
A case under Section 103 (1) (murder) was registered.
