A 37-year-old woman was beaten to death with a cricket bat by her husband at their residence in KSR Nagar, Ameenpur on Sunday morning following a heated argument over suspected extra-marital affairs.
The late Krishnaveni worked as an assistant manager in a cooperative bank, while her husband Venkata Bhemaiah (43) was a realtor. Married since 2005, the couple often argued due to mutual suspicion.
An Ameenpur police officer said the argument broke out around 9 am when their 13-year-old son was at home. “Their 17-year-old daughter, who lives in the hostel, was gone. The boy reportedly called his grandparents about the fight, but before they arrived, Bhemaiah hit Krishnaveni on the head with a cricket bat, killing her on the spot,” said a police officer.
Based on the complaint of the deceased’s mother, a case was registered and an investigation is underway.
