New Delhi: A 36-year-old woman, resident of Vikas Vihar in southwest Delhi was stabbed by her husband on the suspicion of an extra-marital on Sunday.
Prem Singh, an e-rickshaw driver, had planned the murder of his wife, Suman, a day before as he dropped their two children at a relatives place.
The neighbours heard Suman screams and rushed to their house.
"The neighbours told the police that Singh stabbed Suman with a kitchen knife. They tried to break open the door, but by that time they got in, the woman was on the floor in a pool of blood and the husband was sitting in a corner with both his hands bleeding profusely," said a senior police officer.
The victim was rushed to the hospitals where she was brought dead.
Singh was admitted to the hospital in a critical state.
"Initial probe reveals that Singh was drunk when he attacked his wife," said the officer.
Neighbours informed the police that the couple often fought over the issue.
DCP Surender Kumar said Singh would be arrested under the charges of murder and attempt to suicide and his statement taken after his condition stabilises.
