Shockingly, the accused carried out the gruesome act in the presence of the couple's six year old son. Police have identified the victim as Renuka Pawar, a resident of Vetalbaba Vasahat in Pune's Hadapsar.
After preliminary investigations, police are of the belief that the horrendous crime was committed as a result of a domestic dispute. Further, neighbours reported that the couple fought often, particularly over money. The accused, 40-year-old Sanjay Pawar worked as a labour and would often come to the house inebriated, leading to bickering between the couple.
A report in the Indian Express quotes a police officer as having stated, "Pawar hit Renuka with a hammer several times and strangled her.” It was the neighbours who saw blood inside the house and called in the police. Sanjay Pawar has been arrested and is currently under police custody.
