A man allegedly killed his wife and sent pictures of her dead body to relatives before hanging himself in Uttar Pradesh’s Ghaziabad on Friday, police said.
The accused, identified as 30-year-old Shyam Goswami, strangled his wife, Priya, 28, to death and stayed beside her dead body for hours before hanging himself around 1:00 pm. He also clicked several pictures and sent them to his relatives, Deputy Commissioner of Police (rural) Vivek Chandra Yadav said. Police have reasons to believe that Goswami suspected his wife of adultery.
“After seeing the photos on WhatsApp Goswami’s younger brother Praveen reached his house and found the bodies,” the officer added.
The couple had been living in the Shankar Vihar colony of Ankur Vihar Loni for the last three years. While Goswami used to sell car accessories, his wife Priya worked at a private company.
The couple’s six-year-old daughter lives with her grandparents in Etah district, police said.
“Prima facie, it appears that Goswami suspected his wife of adultery. The bodies have been sent for postmortem and the matter is being investigated,” the DCP said.
