The assailant, identified as 43-year-old Krishnappa, a daily wage labourer from Bagepalli in Chikkaballapur district, killed his 35-year-old wife, K Sharada, a domestic worker, by slitting her throat with a knife.

The attack occurred around 8 pm as Sharada was returning home from work.

According to police reports, Krishnappa had travelled from Bagepalli with the intention of committing the murder. He lay in wait along his wife's usual route home and, upon spotting her, confronted her before launching a vicious assault-repeatedly stabbing her in the neck. Sharada collapsed and succumbed to her injuries on the spot before help could arrive.

As Krishnappa tried to escape, he was pursued and apprehended by local residents, who restrained him until the police reached the scene.

Deputy Commissioner of Police Sarah Fatima, accompanied by a forensic team, visited the location shortly after the incident.

A formal case has been registered, and an investigation is currently underway.
