NEW DELHI: A day after a 40-year-old woman was found dead outside Thyagaraj Stadium in south Delhi, a man named Vinod (34) was arrested for allegedly planning and executing the murder.
The woman was in a live-in relationship with Vinod, but they had recently become estranged, police said.
Vinod told the police that he had married the woman, Santoshi, at an Arya Samaj temple. A few days ago, when he returned from work he found her with another man. When he objected to this, she fought with him, left the house and started staying on rent in Mundka.
The accused then decided to kill Santoshi. He took her to INA market where he bought a knife from a cutlery shop. The estranged couple then had a few drinks together after which he took her to gate number 1 of Thyagaraj Stadium and stabbed her multiple times.
After confirming that she had died, he threw the knife at the spot and went to his cousin's house in Mundka.
The man has four brothers and a sister. His father had passed away six years ago. Earlier, he was a fruit vendor near Sewa Nagar railway crossing. He has been a tuberculosis patient for the past eight months.
Santoshi's body was handed over to her family on Tuesday. Her children have been sent to a childcare home and will be handed over to the nearest family members once they approach the authorities.
