PATNA: In a gruesome incident, a youth allegedly killed his elder brother’s wife after raping her at village Pakri under Barharia police station area in Siwan district on Sunday. She was stabbed multiple times in her neck.
The woman, 25, lived with her parents at Pakri for the last one year. Her six-year-old son also lived with her.
She had got married to one Jubba Mahto of village Parshurampur under Manjhagarh police area in neighbouring Gopalganj district around eight years ago.
Jubba works in a Middle East country and has been staying there for almost two years.
The accused, Chunnu Kumar, 22, was arrested from Parshurampur in the afternoon.
Barharia police station SHO Praveen Prabhakar said the killing took place in a field outside the parental residence of the deceased between 2am and 3am on Sunday.
“She was stabbed at least five times in the neck. Her body was lying in a pool of blood without any cloth below the waist. Her trouser was found lying beside the body. Prima facie it seems she was murdered after rape. Things would become clear after the police gets postmortem report,” he said.

The SHO said the knife used in killing the woman was also recovered near the spot. “Chunnu reached her residence on a bicycle from Parshurampur around 7pm on Saturday. After having dinner, he went to sleep. Rest of the family members also went to sleep,” he said.
SHO Prakbhakar said police suspect the woman might have woken up to relieve herself and went to the open field. “Chunnu followed her. He raped and then killed her. Her father has lodged an FIR against Chunnu for raping and killing his daughter,” he said.
The SHO said after killing the woman, Chunnu fled to Parshurampur from where he was finally arrested. “The family members got to know about the murder around 4am after which they immediately informed the police,” Prabhakar said.
“The accused has confessed to his crime. Chunnu had been to jail in connection with a fight last year,” the SHO said.
He said the body has been handed over to the family for cremation after postmortem and further investigation is going on.
