In a shocking incident, a 28-year-old, eight-months pregnant woman, was found murdered at her house, in Diburahalli last week.

The woman was hacked to death with a machete during the day and was discovered only after her family members returned home, later in the day.

After the alleged murder, the accused tried to destroy the evidence, by cleaning the crime scene and wiping the bloodstains off the walls and floors.

The victim was a homemaker and her husband is employed in the railway department. The police suspected that the murder was a result of someone known to the woman and family, and was soon proved right.

The woman was murdered by her own brother-in-law, frustrated with her for allegedly not taking care of his mother and other family members properly.

As per reports, the victim has been identified as Jyothi, and the accused is her husband’s brother Hareesh Babu, 38. “Jyothi and the accused are alleged to have had differences for the past few years. Their fights kept escalating over the years.

She had also informed her family and her husband about the regular fights with the brother-in-law. The accused had been advised by the family, to back off from Jyothi.

Owing to all this, Babu’s wife had left him and their son. Since his wife’s departure, he had started troubling his brother’s wife and was regularly picked a fight with her.

He complained that Jyothi neglected to take care of his mother and other family members. Investigations reveal these as false allegations, and in fact, Babu’s son was being raised by Jyothi,” said an officer on part of investigations.

Last week, when the victim was resting at home, the accused returned home at around 10.30 am and picked up a fight with her. The fight escalated and Babu ended up hacking her to death with a machete. The victim’s father Nagaraj, at the time of filing a complaint, mentioned Babu’s regular fights with Jyothi and suspected his role in the murder of his pregnant daughter.

The accused, after killing her, had gone to the farm and pretended to not knowing about the the happenings back home. Based on the complainant’s suspicion, the police picked up Babu. After a thorough interrogation, Babu reportedly confessed to the murder of his sister-in-law.

A case of murder under section 302 of the Indian Penal Code has been registered and further probe is underway.
