Murder in Hubli

The horrific murder of a woman who was alive and begging in a stone's throw took place on Saturday morning in front of Krishna Bhavan near Nehru Maidan.

The dead woman has been identified as Suma, 28, of Davanagere. It is understood that she was married to a Bellary native and lived in the city for over a year and a half ago.

On May 11, the husband's wife had a quarrel with alcohol, and her drunken husband struck Sumala's head with a stone. A local resident was rushed to Kim's Hospital where she was seriously injured. However, the treatment is said to have died without effective treatment.

Inspector of DCP, ACP and Shah Station inspected the site.
