A cold-blooded murder has been reported from Bengaluru’s Nelamangala locality. A 70-year-old woman was killed while her paralysed husband was right beside her. He was reportedly unaware of the attack. The victim, identified as Shobha, lived with her husband Ranganath, who was reportedly paralysed and bedridden for over 15 years.
On the day the horrific incident took place, the couple had returned home after their morning walk; it was their routine. Shobha’s throat was slit, and she was found in a pool of blood by the physiotherapist, who would visit her husband. Ranganath was reportedly oblivious to the incident.
