In disturbing news, a 21-year-old man allegedly killed his pregnant wife, suspecting her infidelity, and the fetus emerged from the womb in the gruesome incident.
According to reports, on Thursday (January 16), the accused sat on his wife's stomach while she was sleeping at their house and strangled her to death using a pillow.
The unborn child emerged from the woman's womb while she struggled for her life.
The husband, after committing the gruesome crime, tried to pass off the murder as a fire accident by opening the valves of the gas cylinder and setting it on fire, according to police.
According to Kushaiguda police, the 21-year-old victim was seven months pregnant.
The woman's mother filed a police complaint against her son-in-law. Acting on the complaint, the police registered a case and the accused was subsequently arrested on Monday (January 20).
The police stated that during interrogation, the accused told police that he suspected his wife of cheating on him as she became pregnant during his absence. They had also quarreled after she became pregnant.
According to reports, the couple first came to know each other through an online platform and got married in 2022. After some time, they got into a dispute and started living separately. The woman started living with her husband only a month ago.
