Mumbai: A 36-year-old man from Kamothe, Mumbai killed his wife after the accused visited the temple to seek forgiveness. He was eating the food offered to devotees at the time he got arrested.

The accused was identified as Birappa Shrirang Shejal. The Crime Branch’s Unit II acted on information provided by Namdev Metkari, the victim’s brother, Shilwanta Shejal, 33. Namdev told the police that one of the places Birappa could be hiding was the Balumama temple in Solapur, which he frequently visited.

Meanwhile, another police team, which was working on the technical evidence of tracing the CCTV footage, saw him boarding a train from Kamothe station to Kurla and then another train from Kurla to Solapur.

Ravindra Patil senior police officer from Unit II, Crime Branch said, “The accused said he had killed his wife using a hammer and then threw the weapon into Vashi Creek. According to him, the couple frequently had fights over money matters and that day she held him by the collar which irked him. He then killed her.”

The woman Brother Metkari said, “As per the kids, on the day of the murder, they had started the fight and the husband had eventually said that only after killing you, I will get peace and left home to drop the children at school.”

He added, “My sister was lying in a pool of blood on the bed. This means she was probably sleeping when he killed her. After dropping the kids off, he went back to kill her. It was not a murder which happened in a fit of rage, but a planned one.”

Metkari went on to say that Birappa, who worked as an accountant for the State Comptroller and Auditor General (CAG) office in South Mumbai, had been pestering his sister ever since the marriage. Shilwanta had also filed a domestic violence case in court, which she withdrew before the Lok Adalat in February after he apologised to her in front of relatives and advocates.
