Man clubs wife to death, hangs himself
BANGALORE:
A 64-year-old man clubbed his wife to death with a stick used to
prepare ragi balls and then hanged himself in their residence near
Mahalakshmi Layout on Tuesday morning. She was a private financier and
entrepreneur and the couple often fought over her chit fund dealings and
brusque way of recovering money.
Preliminary
investigation revealed that a heated argument broke out between D
Nanjappa Dasappa and Shashikala in the morning and he hit her on the
head. "Shashikala, in her fifties, sustained serious skull injuries and
died on the spot. Nanjappa panicked and hanged himself," deputy
commissioner of police (North) Sandeep Patil said.
The couple is survived by son Manjunath and two married daughters, Devika and Dhanalakshmi.
Moolah rage?
Nanjappa Dasappa didn't like his wife Shashikala doing the
money-lending business. And Shashikala allegedly taunted her husband
that the family was prosperous, thanks to her business.
He spoke to daughter before ending life
Manjunath Nanjappa teaches mathematics at Christ University.
Nanjappa is a former ITI employee. Close relatives told police that
Nanjappa didn't like his wife being in the money-lending business. He
was upset about the way she recovered money from debtors and chit fund
deals with women in the neighbourhood and said it was unbecoming of
their family. Shashikala also allegedly taunted her husband on how her
business had made the family prosperous and he did not contribute
anything, police were told.
Devika was in tears when she
recalled her father's phone call around 10.30am. "His trembling voice
told me something was wrong and I rushed home to the tragedy," she said.
Manjunath and his younger sister, Dhanalakshmi, shocked by the events,
refused to say anything.
Sugandhini Malatesh, their neighbour
in Srikanteshwaranagar, said the old couple fought often but the clashes
never reached this level. "They lived on the first floor and rented out
the ground floor," she said.
According to Manjunath's wife
Pavithra, her in-laws had asked her to visit her mother's home in Peenya
in the morning. "They were arguing and after my husband left around
8am, I took my three-year-old son to my parents' house. I came to know
about the tragedy only when my husband called me about it," she said.
The last words
Minutes before ending his life, Nanjappa called Devika, who works with a
private hospital in Malleswaram. "I have kept all the gold inside a bag
and you take it all. I may not call you again ever," he said, before
ending the call.
Devika thought her father may have been miffed
after one of his usual scraps with her mother and rushed home to check
if all was well. When she reached the house around 11am, she saw the
main door slightly open. She was shocked to find her mother lying dead
in the hall and father hanging from the ceiling fan in the bedroom.
There was blood splattered all over the hall and the ragi ball stick too had blood stains. http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/bangalore/Man-clubs-wife-to-death-hangs-himself/articleshow/21499519.cms
