New Delhi: A horrifying incident has taken place in Bengaluru in which a 48-year-old man has killed his wife with a dumbbell and later died by suicide. Reportedly, one of their sons, who had returned from school, first recovered the bodies of the couple.
The incident took place on May 27 and the deceased have been identified as Basavachari (48) and Suma (36). Police probes have revealed the couple stayed at a rented house in Vijayapura town and used to argue frequently over domestic issues.
Reportedly, the matter was reported to the police after the 14-year-old son of the deceased couple returned home from school. They have another son who is 12 years old. The woman’s body was found inside the bedroom with her head battered with injuries and blood splashed on the bedsheet and the floor, with the walls also having stains of blood. The dumbbell which was allegedly used to hit Suma was on the bed.
On the other hand, Basavachari’s body was found hanging from a ceiling fan. According to the police, the couple fought again after the children went to school at 9 am, and in a fit of rage, Basavachari fatally hit Suma with the dumbbell. Once he realised what happened, he killed himself. Basavachari reportedly owned a welding shop, while Suma was a homemaker. The case is being probed further by the police.
