A man in southern India brutally killed his ex-wife at a women's shelter and took a selfie with her corpse, according to NDTV.
The victim, identified as Sripriya, an employee in a private company in Coimbatore, Tamil Nadu, had separated from her husband Balamurugam, who was from Tirunelveli.
Police said the suspect arrived at the shelter on Sunday afternoon, concealing a sickle in his clothing, and was looking to meet her.
They had an argument soon after the couple met, and the dispute escalated into a violent attack by Balamurugan, who pulled out the sickle and hacked the woman to death.
Additionally, police said he then took a selfie with her body and shared it on his WhatsApp status, accusing her of “betrayal.”
The incident caused panic and chaos in the shelter.
After the brutal murder, the suspect did not escape the scene, but waited until the police arrived and was arrested at the crime scene. The murder weapon was recovered.
Initial investigation suggested he suspected his wife was in a relationship with another man.
