A 32-year-old woman, Rekha, was fatally stabbed by her 35-year-old husband, Lohitashwa, at Sunkadakatte bus stand in Bengaluru on September 22. The attack occurred publicly as her 13-year-old daughter witnessed.
They lived in a rented house near Sunkadakatte with elder daughter, while the younger one stayed with her parents.
