BELAGAVI:

Belagavi superintendent of police (SP) Bhimashankar Guled said that the incident took place in a village in the district on Wednesday night when the deceased, who was heavily intoxicated, was asleep.

He said: "On Thursday morning, some villagers found unidentified body parts in the agricultural field. They immediately informed the police and upon investigation we found that the body parts belonged to a man from the same village. We then began questioning his wife and then she confessed to the crime."

He further said that during the interrogation, the accused stated that she and her daughter were fed up with her husband's mental torture and physical assault, which led her to take this extreme step. The couple had got married when the woman was 12-year-old.

The SP cited the confession of the accused where she said, "I killed him as he tried to rape our daughter when I refused to sleep with him in the night."
