NRI murdered by wife, parmour during vacation in India

September 10, 2016

Shahjahanpur, Sep 10: A 34-year-old British-Sikh was allegedly murdered by his wife and her parmour during a vacation in India, police said.

downloadSukhjit Singh, an NRI, was murdered on September 1 allegedly by his wife Ramandeep Kaur Mann (31) who colluded with her husband's best friend Gurpreet Singh alias Mitthu during their visit to Uttar Pradesh's Banda district last month, they said.

Ramandeep admitted to put sleeping pills in her family's dinner and let Gurpreet in the house, police claimed.

"Gurpreet reached her house at 10 PM following which they went upstairs. Gurpreet hit Sukhjit Singh on the head with a hammer, while Ramandeep also smothered him using a pillow.

"They suspected he was still alive so Gurpreet slit his throat using a butcher's knife, which he had brought with him," police claimed.

Sukhjit was sleeping next to his sons, aged six and nine.

While Gurpreet was arrested moments before he was due to board a flight to Dubai, Ramandeep "confessed" to the crime on hearing about his arrest, police claimed.

Sukhjit and Gurpreet had been school friends in UP and remained close after the former moved to Britain, where he married Ramandeep in 2005.

Ramandeep's affair with Gurpreet apparently began during a family holiday in November last year. She grew up in Berkshire, south-east England, and works as a store manager in Derby, in the East Midlands region of England.

Vrijendra Singh Yadav, Superintendent of District jail where Ramandeep is lodged, said the British High Commission is taking report on her on daily basis and a team from there is likely to come over in a couple of days.

Mumbai, Feb 11: A 65-year-old woman was allegedly killed by her husband over debt and illness in suburban Powai here, police said on Tuesday.

The incident came to light when Sheela Ajit Lad was found dead by her neighbours at Sukh Shanti Co-operative Society at around 9.30 pm on Monday, an official said.

The victim was allegedly killed by her husband Ajit Lad, who hit her on the head with a heavy object, slit her wrists and strangled her to death, he said.

The accused absconded at around 7.30 pm, leaving a note at the crime scene, saying he was going to commit suicide and had killed his wife because he was heavily in debt and she was suffering from an ailment, the official said.

The childless couple lived alone in the apartment, he added.

"On the basis of the note, we have registered a case of murder against Ajit Lad and have launched a manhunt for him. We have not traced him or found his body as he had mentioned suicide in the note," deputy commissioner of police (DCP) Zone X Ankit Goyal said.
