A middle-aged woman lecturer was stabbed to death near Madanapalle in Annamayya district on Thursday.
The body of Rukhsana (35), who worked at a private degree college, was found in a pool of blood on the outskirts of the town. Upon receiving information from locals, Deputy Superintendent of Police Kesappa went to the spot and shifted the body for post-mortem examination.
According to police, the victim’s husband, Khader Ahmed, married another woman, Ayesha, as she remained childless. However, after Rukhsana gave birth to a daughter recently, the man got closer to her once again.
Rukhsana’s family members suspect the role of Ayesha and her family members in the murder, the police said. A case has been registered and an investigation is on.
