A 45-year-old woman was arrested for killing her husband during a quarrel over family matters at their rented home in Kothapet on Saturday (October 31).

The deceased, Kotam Prabhakar, 55, a native of Warangal, was working as a security guard and living with his wife Rajitha, 45, and their two daughters in Satya Nagar Colony.

According to the police, Prabhakar and Rajitha had a quarrel over family matters at around 9.20 a.m. During the argument, Rajitha stabbed Prabhakar in the chest with a knife used for cutting vegetables.

Prabhakar suffered severe blood loss and collapsed at the spot. His two daughters shifted him in a 108 ambulance to a private hospital in Kothapet, where doctors declared him dead.

Based on a complaint lodged by Prabhakar’s younger brother, Kotam Vijayabhaskar, Chaitanyapuri police registered a murder case under Section 103(1) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita. Investigation is underway to establish the circumstances surrounding the incident and examine the available evidence.
