Imphal, September 09 2011:
In a tragic incident, a woman stabbed and killed her husband, who is an IRB jawan on Thursday night while he was sleeping.
The incident occurred in a rented house at Chingmeirong last night at about 10 o'clock.
According to the police, 34-year-old Mutum ningol Laishram ongbi Manimala stabbed and killed her husband Laishram Brojen (36) son of Laishram Kameshwar of Lilong Haoreibi Mayai Leikai while he was sleeping.
Brojen was a driver in the 5th Reserved Indian Battalion (IRB) and was posted at Koirengei Thengu Chingjin and was survived by his wife and two children.
Manimala surrendered today morning before Imphal police station after absconding the entire night.
She disclosed to the police about the crime and said she killed her husband because of gross injustice and frequent domestic violence.
According to her statement she was constantly tortured and stigmatized by her husband that forced her to take the drastic step of ending his life, said the police.
Manimala told the police that she had divorced Brojen some two years ago but began living together again three months back at the rented house where she killed him.
However, Brojen's family from Lilong Haoreibi Makha Leikai has different story to tell.
They have accused Manimala of being a woman of loose character, leading luxurious lifestyle way beyond her means.
"She indulged in extramarital affairs which caused frequent quarrelling between the two," alleged the family of the deceased.
Local people of Chingmeirong rushed Brojen to Jawaharlal Nehru Institute of Medical Sciences (JNIMS) late last night after the incident but he was declared brought dead.
