Khammam: A quarrel between a husband and wife led to the death of their four-year- old daughter at Janakipuram in Bonakal Mandal on Tuesday.
According to the police, Krishna and Nagamani, came from Visakhapatnam to work in Subabul plantations and settled in Janakipuram. They used to often quarrel on family issues. Krishna came home on Tuesday after consuming toddy and started an argument with his wife. Both argued on family issues for an hour.
Krishna tried assaulting Nagamani with a subabul stick. But the blow proved fatal to Supriya, their daughter, who was sitting in the lap of Nagamani. Krishna, who was under influence of toddy, failed to notice this. Supriya fell unconscious and Nagamani took her to a private hospital in Wyra where doctors declared her brought dead.
Krishna ran away from the village after the incident. Search is on for Krishna and a case is registered against him.
