A MAN in Tamil Nadu, India, smashed his wife’s head with a rock after a heated argument over her extramarital affair, Malaysia Nanban reported.
Senniappan, 35, and Kogilavani, 26, have 18-month-old twins.
Kogilavani befriended a mechanic named Ganesan a few months ago and their relationship developed very quickly.
The married couple began fighting frequently after Senniappan found out about the affair and Kogilavani left three months ago to stay with her parents.
When she returned to their home three days ago to take her belongings, Senniappan apparently tried to convince her to patch up their relationship but they began arguing again.
Fed up, the husband grabbed a large rock and attacked his wife, killing her on the spot.
He then went to the nearby police station with the twins in tow, confessed to his crime and surrendered.
