Techie Stabs Married Lover, Mother Of 2, 17 Times At Bengaluru Hotel

A woman was stabbed to death by her alleged lover in a Bengaluru hotel room. The incident occurred late Friday night but came to light only two days later.

The victim has been identified as Harini, 33. And, the accused, a 25-year-old techie, Yashas. Both were residents of Kengeri, a western suburb in Bengaluru.

The murder took place in an OYO hotel room in Poorna Prajna Layout, where Harini was stabbed to death with a knife.

A case has been registered at the Subramanyapura Police Station and the investigation is underway.

"A murder was reported from Subramanyapura Police Station on the intervening night of June 6 and 7. The woman wanted to end the friendship and was trying to distance herself from him. Out of anger and jealousy, the man stabbed the woman to death," said DCP south, Lokesh B Jagalasar.

The friendship between the two was creating a problem in Harini's life, a mother of two. Harini's family reportedly got to know about the relationship, leading to troubles in her personal life. She told Yashas she cannot continue the relationship.

Furious, Yashas stabbed Harini 17 times. The accused has been arrested.

In another incident, a 28-year-old man allegedly beheaded his wife and carried her severed head to the police station in Bengaluru's Anekal area. The accused, identified as Shankar, murdered his 26-year-old wife, Manasa, following a heated confrontation over her alleged extramarital affair.

Shankar and Manasa had moved into a rented house in Heelalige village some time ago, according to the police sources. On the night of June 3, Shankar left for work, informing Manasa he would return the next morning. However, he returned the same night and allegedly found Manasa with another man. A fight ensued and Manasa is said to have moved out of the house.

The fight continued in the days to come. Angered by the repeated harassment, Shankar allegedly beheaded Manasa and then travelled to the Suryanagar police station with her severed head, where he surrendered.
