Hyderabad techie killed by ex-husband

It happened at Sunitha’s home in Green City Colony. Mahesh and Sunitha had recently divorced. Soon after, Sunitha remarried. Police believe Mahesh just couldn’t handle that.

Mahesh showed up at her house with two knives and a can of petrol. He confronted Sunitha, they argued, and then he attacked her. He stabbed her several times and smashed a flower pot on her head. The injuries were fatal.

Neighbours later found Sunitha lying in a pool of blood inside her home.

After the attack, Mahesh ran. People in the area called the police, who got there quickly and moved Sunitha’s body for a post-mortem.

Police tracked Mahesh down within hours and arrested him. He’s now in custody and being questioned.

The early investigation points to Mahesh’s anger over Sunitha’s remarriage as the motive for the killing. Police are still digging into the case.
