In another case of suicide in Uttar Pradesh, a 30-year-old man allegedly killed his wife using a sharp weapon on Monday after an argument over delay in serving him lunch and then died by suicide by hanging himself in his house in Sitapur, as per PTI.

The deceased have been identified as Prema Devi (28) and her husband Parasram, while the incident took place in Kotwalanpurwa village of Thangaon police station area.

The angry husband first attacked and killed his wife with a sharp weapon and then, fearing that he would have to go to jail, committed suicide by hanging himself inside the house, the SHO said.

According to police, Parasram returned home after working in the fields on Monday afternoon and asked his wife for food. The lunch was not ready when Parasram reached home. Due to the delay in getting food, the husband got angry and an argument between the couple took place which escalated to such an extent that he killed his wife by repeatedly attacking her with a sharp weapon. After the incident, the accused locked himself in the room and committed suicide by hanging himself.
