A 28-year-old nurse, Angel Jasmine, was allegedly killed by her father, Francis (also known as Josemon), in Omanapuzha, Kerala.
What first seemed like a natural death turned out to be a case of domestic violence after Josemon confessed during police interrogation to strangling his daughter following a heated argument at home.
Jasmine had been staying with her parents due to issues in her marriage.

The situation reportedly escalated after Jasmine allegedly kicked her grandfather, which deeply upset her father and led to the fatal confrontation.
Police say ongoing tension and anger issues within the family played a major role.
Josemon is now in custody as authorities await the post-mortem report before moving forward with legal action.
