Hyderabad: A woman in Nizamabad district of Telangana allegedly used her training as a nurse and murdered her ailing husband by injecting toilet cleaner through a cannula after an earlier attempt to kill him by pushing him off a rooftop failed, according to police officials.

Where did the incident happen?

In Telangana's Nizamabad district, a woman allegedly killed her husband by injecting toilet cleaner through a cannula when he was undergoing medical treatment, police said on Monday.

The deceased has been identified as Prasanth (35), who worked in a Gulf country. Prasanth's mother filed a police complaint on July 1, stating that she learned of her son's death on June 30.

The deceased's mother told police that she was unaware that her son had returned home or what had happened to him before his death. She described her son's death as mysterious and expressed suspicion of her daughter-in-law Sandhya (32).

How did the woman plan the murder?

Based on technical evidence obtained during the police investigation, it was revealed that Sandhya was having an illicit relationship with a man named Anil (35). According to the police, Sandhya and Anil conspired to eliminate Prasanth because they felt his husband was the biggest obstacle to their love affair. To carry out their evil plot, they took help of another man named Venkata Sai.

What about the first attempt?

As per the plan, on June 29, Sai went to Prasanth's house and made him consume a lot of liquor. Sai then took Prasanth to the roof of the building and, as planned, pushed him off the roof. Although Prasanth survived the incident, he suffered serious injuries. Sandhya and Sai then took the injured Prasanth to a government hospital for treatment. He was later shifted to a private hospital, but then they brought him back home.

How did accused plan the second attempt?

After being encouraged by Anil, Sandhya injected a toilet cleaner and an anaesthesia medicine to Prasanth through a cannula. Sandhya also pushed Prasanth down from the cot, which led to his death, the police said.

During the police investigation, all three accused confessed to their crimes, following which the police arrested them. Police stated that the accused were arrested and produced in court, where they were sent to jail in judicial custody.
