New Delhi: In a shocking incident from the national capital, a 35-year-old woman was allegedly murdered by a 39-year-old man with whom she was in a live-in relationship. The accused allegedly murdered with a hammer after she refused to share her phone’s password as he found her on a call with someone else. As per the incident, the horrific incident took place in Vinod Nagar in East Delhi on Tuesday last week while the accused was arrested on Saturday.
The victim was identified as Mamta Sharma who used to work as a private security guard. On Tuesday, her 17-year-old son found her lying dead with her head smashed. He also found a hammer lying next to her body.
Upon receiving the information, the police reached the spot and suspected that Sharma’s live-in partner may have murdered her.
