Odisha man kills auto-driver with ax over suspicion of affair
India
In Ganjam, Odisha, 47-year-old auto-rickshaw driver Ashok Kumar Swain was attacked with an ax and killed outside the Bhanjanagar court on Thursday.
The accused, Dillip Kumar Jena, believed Swain was having an affair with his wife—a suspicion.
Swain was jailed for 6 months
Jena had earlier filed a complaint against Swain for allegedly misbehaving with his wife and taking money from him, which landed Swain in jail for six months.
On Thursday, as Swain showed up in court for that old case, Jena confronted him and attacked.
Despite being rushed to the hospital, Swain died on the way.
Police have detained Jena; they're still investigating what pushed him to take such a drastic step.
