Imphal, September 09 2011:
In an astonishingly rare case, one Rifleman of 5th IRB was hacked to death by his own wife.
A police source informed that 5th IRB Rifleman (driver) Laishram Brojen (36) was hacked to death by his wife Mutum ningol Laishram ongbi Mani alias Manimala (36) in their rented room at Chingmeirong Mamang Leikai at around 10.30 last night.
People of the neighbourhood rushed Brojen to JN Hospital but he succumbed to the injuries on the way.
On the other hand, Ma-nimala fled away from the murder scene and surrendered to police the same night.
Manimala said she took the extreme step of murdering her own husband for she could not bear any longer the atrocities and harassment she suffered in the hands of her husband.
Brojen hailed from Haoreibi Makha Leikai while Manimala's parental home is at Chajing Awang Leikai.
They were staying together in rented rooms at Chingmeirong.
They have one daughter and a son.
The two children were in a private boarding when the incident took place.
Police recovered a blood stained broadsword from the murder site.
A case has been registered at Lamphel police station.
According to relatives of Brojen, Brojen and Manimala had divorced two/three years back but they re-united again at the insistence of family members in the interest of their small kids.
They also expressed suspicion that Brojen might not have been murdered by Manimala alone.
Manimala's immoral behaviour was responsible for the earlier separation between the couple, they revealed.
The corpse of Brojen has been handed over to family members after post mortem at RIMS today.
