Mancherial: Man hacks wife to death for not making chicken curry

Chennur police said that Galipelli Shankaramma (45) died on the spot when her husband Posham hacked her at around 4 am.

Mancherial: A woman was hacked to death allegedly by her husband, for cooking a brinjal curry instead of the chicken curry he had asked for.
According to Chennur Inspector Vasudeva Rao, the incident happened at Kishtampet village in Chennur early on Wednesday, when Galipelli Shankaramma (45) was hacked on her neck with an axe, allegedly by her husband Posham around 3 am. Shankaramma, who was asleep, raised an alarm when she was attacked, prompting Posham to flee the spot.

Their elder son Santosh, who was sleeping in another room, along with their neighbors, shifted her to hospital, where she succumbed to her injuries. Police said Posham, in an inebriated condition, had picked up an argument with Shankaramma for cooking a brinjal curry, when he wanted chicken curry. He had gone to bed after the fight, but later woke up and attacked her.
Based on a complaint from Santosh, a case was registered against Posham. Efforts are on to nab him.
