Husband Dead, Son Stabbed, Karnataka Doctor Found Casually Browsing Phone

In a secured apartment complex in Karnataka's Dharwad, relatives forced their way into a flat after hours of unanswered calls. Inside, they found Dr Kiran Honannavar, a 45-year-old anaesthetist, dead on the floor in a pool of blood. His eight-year-old son lay injured in another room. The boy's mother, also a doctor, was on the bed scrolling through her phone.

Police were alerted by neighbours and entered the Ranka Stello Apartments on Karnataka University Road of Dharwad, which lies 435 km from capital Bengaluru. They found Dr Honannavar with fatal stab wounds to the neck. His son had serious stab injuries but was still breathing and was rushed to a private hospital, where he remains under treatment.
