An elderly man allegedly stabbed his wife to death and later committed suicide at Rangam Banjar village of Tallada Mandal in the district on Wednesday as he was upset with his wife’s plan to visit their daughter in the US. Sankranti Subramanyeshwar Rao, 65, slit his 60-year-old wife Vijaya Lakshmi’s throat with a knife. After killing his wife, he committed suicide by consuming pesticide, the police said.
One of the couple’s daughter is settled in the US while the other lives at Ramagundam in the erstwhile Karimnagar district. Lakshmi planned to go to the US to visit her daughter on March 15, and had an appointment scheduled for March 4 for visa processing at the US Consulate in Hyderabad.
