> A man in India strangled his wife for having an affair and then staged her “suicide”, Malaysia Nanban reported.
Muthupandian, 38, and Muthukumari, 28, from Tamil Nadu, got married 10 years ago and have two children.
Muthukumari was caught having an affair four years ago and left the family briefly before reconciling with her husband. But he remained suspicious of her, which led to many arguments.
Earlier this month, Muthupandian filed a police report claiming his wife had hung herself after an argument.
The autopsy raised suspicions, and he eventually confessed to police that he had strangled his wife and staged the suicide.
