Hyderabad Horror: Pregnant Woman Brutally Murdered by Ex-Husband
In a shocking and tragic incident that has sent shockwaves through Hyderabad, a three-month pregnant woman was brutally hacked to death inside her own home on Wednesday. The alleged perpetrator is her former husband, who was reportedly upset over her recent remarriage, according to reports by Srinath Vudali.
Gruesome Attack in Broad Daylight
The accused, identified as Devarakonda Mahesh, forcibly entered the apartment of the victim, Sunitha. He was armed with multiple dangerous weapons, including knives, a bottle of petrol, and a chainsaw. After barging in, he locked himself inside her room, where a heated argument ensued, leading to the horrific attack.
"Within minutes, he stabbed her multiple times, including on her head," stated Inspector T Mahesh, describing the brutality of the assault. The violence was so sudden and severe that Sunitha had little chance to defend herself.
Family's Desperate Attempts and Police Intervention
Hearing her desperate screams, family members immediately rushed to the scene, only to find Sunitha lying in a pool of blood, critically injured. Meanwhile, the accused had barricaded himself inside the washroom, attempting to evade capture.
Police were quickly summoned and arrived at the location. They had to break open the washroom door to apprehend Mahesh, who was taken into custody without further incident. The swift police action prevented any additional harm, but it was too late to save Sunitha, who succumbed to her injuries.
Background of the Tragic Couple
Sunitha and Mahesh, both professionals working in the technology sector, had tied the knot in 2022. Their marriage, however, did not last, and they eventually separated. Sunitha had moved on with her life and remarried, a decision that allegedly triggered Mahesh's violent outburst.
This case highlights the devastating consequences of domestic disputes and the extreme reactions that can arise from personal grievances. The local community and authorities are now grappling with the aftermath of this senseless act of violence.
Ongoing Investigation and Legal Proceedings
The police have launched a thorough investigation into the murder. They are examining all aspects of the case, including the motive, the planning involved, and the sequence of events leading up to the attack. Mahesh is currently in police custody and is expected to face severe legal charges under relevant sections of the Indian Penal Code.
This incident serves as a grim reminder of the urgent need for stronger measures to prevent domestic violence and protect vulnerable individuals, especially women, from such heinous crimes. The tragedy has sparked conversations about safety and support systems for those in similar situations.
