Additional District and Sessions Judge of Bonei sentenced a 37-year-old man to rigorous life imprisonment on Friday for killing his wife. Also a fine of Rs10, 000 was imposed on him.
Sources said Kamalini Behera (25), a resident of Jharbeda village under Bonei police station, had married one Narayan Behera, a resident of Siridiha village under Mahulpada police station in Bonei. Narayan was always suspecting his wife Kamalini of having relationship with another person and therefore, Narayan used to quarrel with Kamalini. In February 2013, Kamalni’s mother Ulasa Behera had come to Kamalini’s house and had stayed there. On February 14, 2013 night, Kamlaini and her mother Ulasa had slept in one room and in the midnight, Naryana had entered carrying an axe attacked his wife Kamalini and killed her there. When Ulasa got up, Naryana also threatened to kill her and thereafter fled the spot.
Ulasa immediately informed her near and dear at Jharbeda village and on February 15 morning, they reached at deceased’s house. Ulasa lodged a FIR in Mahulpada police station against her son-in-law later. Police, after registering a murder case, had arrested Narayana and produced him before court.
