Raipur: Infuriated by his wife’s stand to support their sons in a property dispute, a 70-year-old farmer beheaded her with a sickle on Sunday night, carried the severed head to the police station 5 km away and presented it to horrified cops.
The incident happened in Chhattisgarh’s Durg district. Durg SP Deepanshu Kabra said, “Jethu Sahu, a resident of Telibundra village under Ranitarai police station walked up to the police station and surrendered.’’
The couple’s two sons — Gopal and Soman had separated from their parents. While both the sons had received their respective shares of farmland, a portion of the house along with a huge courtyard was still in Jethu Sahu’s possession. He was annoyed with his sons for utilising the courtyard to dump their farm produce. Jhetu had repeatedly objected to this and frequently quarrelled with his sons over the matter. His wife Savitri Sahu always sided with her sons which irritated Jethu, Karba said.
On the night of the murder, another quarrel ensued. As usual, Savitri sided with her sons, saying, “We have lived our lives and anyway, the sons will inherit the property after we are no more’’
