Bengaluru man kills wife, then dies by suicide
A 29-year-old man, Dharmaseelan Ramesh, allegedly murdered his 27-year-old wife Manju P at their rented Bengaluru home on Sunday by stabbing her around 45 times before dying by suicide.
Police say some wounds may have been inflicted after her death.
The tragedy came to light when Manju's father, Periyaswamy, found both bodies after getting no response at the door.
Investigators suspect jealousy over workplace interactions may have played role
Married in September 2022 and originally from Tamil Nadu, the couple had mostly lived apart—Dharmaseelan worked in Dubai while Manju was a nurse in Bengaluru.
He returned from Dubai about a month ago; they stayed together briefly before she moved back for work and lived with her father.
Investigators suspect jealousy over Manju's workplace interactions may have played a role, but the case is still under investigation as police look into what led to this devastating outcome.
