Hyderabad: Woman arrested for murdering husband

HYDERABAD: A 32-year-old housewife, reportedly involved in a Rs 500 crore fraud in Tamil Nadu in 2012 along with her husband, was arrested by Rachakonda police on Saturday for allegedly murdering her spouse.
Melange Sukanya from Tamil Nadu and her husband, Melange John Prabhakaran, 50, were previously arrested by the CID in connection with the money back policy cheating racket.
Prabhakaran had moved to Andal Nagar, Moula Ali, along with another woman soon after his release. Sukanya came to know about her husband’s whereabouts recently. On June 15, she reached Hyderabad, but was shocked to see Prabhakaran staying with another woman.
Prabhakaran allegedly threatened her to leave the house, said Malkajgiri police. Vexed with her life, Sukanya, on the intervening night of June 23 and 24 smothered her husband with a pillow while he was sleeping.
After his death, when Sukanya refused to lodge a complaint, police grew suspicious and registered a case.
On interrogation, Sukanya confessed that she killed her husband and murder charges were booked against her. She was arrested on Saturday.
