A 39-year-old interior designer was arrested for brutally killing his litigant wife on a street in Mira Road near Mumbai on Friday afternoon. The murder allegedly took place over a custody battle related to the couple's kids.
The accused, identified as Nadeem Ahmed Khan, stabbed his 36-year-old wife Amreen multiple times using a sharp-edged weapon. She suffered severe injuries on neck and chest, leading to her death on the spot.
According to the police, Amreen had come from Bandra in Mumbai to take her children after the Thane Sessions Court handed over their custody to their mother.
"Locals who were offering the Friday prayer came to rescue a grievously wounded Amreen, but it was too late by then," a source in Mira Road told mid-day.
