A woman was found dead under mysterious circumstances at the Trinath slum in Jagatpur Industrial Estate here on Wednesday morning. The deceased was identified as Kabita Behera.
It was suspected that Kabita was murdered by her husband Karunakar Mahalik. She had married Karunakar recently after the death of her first husband. The suspect Karunakar is absconding after the incident.
Nieghbours said that Kabita and her husband Karunakar used to quarrel frequently over trivial matters. The couple also fought on Tuesday night. Kabita’s body was recovered from a shop which she was running.
Police said the deceased was staying at a temporary shed along with her husband. The couple had some dispute and it was suspected that she was killed as there was a strangulation mark and some injuries to her body. Only after a thorough examination by a forensic team, the truth would be revealed.
