COIMBATORE: A 36-year-old man hacked his 26-year-old wife to death while she was fast asleep at their house at Thondamuthur village near Kottur in Pollachi in the early hours of Friday, as she was reportedly having an affair with one of his relatives.
An investigation officer said N Lakshmanaraj, a farmer from Thondamuthur, and Saranya were married for the past six years. The couple have a five-year-old son.
He said the two used to fight often after Lakshmanaraj found out that Saranya was having an illicit affair with his relative for the past two years.
