The assailants struck her from behind with a car knocking her to the ground. They slashed her throat with a knife, leaving her dead on the spot.

Bhikshamma and Mallayya, a lorry driver, had been fighting over domestic issues for quite some time. The couple has two sons. The elder one Bharat, works as a mechanic in Hyderabad, while the younger one, Praveen, runs a chicken centre in Suryapet.

Mallayya and family members often accused Bhikshamma of having illicit relations with other men, leading to frequent arguments. Sources said elders in the village had stepped in several times to resolve the issues dividing the family, but in vain.

Suryapet DSP Prasanna Kumar and the clues team rushed to the spot and began investigating. The body was moved to Suryapet government hospital for a post-mortem.
