Maharashtra woman axes husband to death after 3 weeks of marriage

Just three weeks after their wedding, 29-year-old Radhika Lokhande was arrested for allegedly murdering her husband, Anil Lokhande, in Sangli, Maharashtra. Police say the couple argued late Tuesday night about Anil insisting on consummating the marriage. As Anil slept, Radhika reportedly attacked him with an ax at their home, leading to his death around midnight.

TL;DR

Woman on police remand for questioning

Radhika confessed to her cousin and was taken into custody soon after. She's been booked under relevant sections of the Bharatiya Nyay Sanhita and is currently on a two-day police remand for questioning. The case comes as another newlywed murder—known as the Meghalaya honeymoon murder—makes headlines nationally.
