Woman, paramour arrested for murdering husband

Jaipur, Jan 11 (PTI) A woman and her paramour have been arrested for allegedly killing her husband and later burying his body under the staircase of the house, police said today.

40-year-old Savitri had killed her husband Kaluram (45) with the help of her paramour Mangal Ram on January 5 and later buried his body under the staircase of the house.

She was yesterday arrested after the matter was reported to the police by her brother. Later in the day, the police arrested Mangal Ram after Savitri confessed to have killed Kaluram with his help.

Savitri was allegedly having an illicit relationship with Mangal Ram and Kaluram was opposed to it and used to beat her frequently over the issue, SHO Chomu Omprakash said.

Fed up with the constant beatings, Savitri hatched a conspiracy to kill her husband with the help of Mangal Ram.
