‘Eye fell on the jewelery and life ended’, 69 year old wife strangled to death in front of her husband sitting on a wheelchair, everything ended in a moment

Seeing the shining jewelery around the neck, perhaps no one ever thinks that the same shine will extinguish someone’s life. This is what happened to 69 year old Shobha in Nelamangala, Bengaluru. Humanity was murdered in front of her in the same house where she had been working day and night to take care of her husband who was suffering from brain stroke for the last 12 years. Before the helpless husband sitting on the wheelchair could understand anything, the neighbor entered inside on the pretext of asking for water and, blinded by greed, strangled him to death.

Imagine, at that moment, a helpless husband, who could not walk on his own, could not even try to save his wife. The market can probably decide the price of 100 grams of gold, but who will put a price on the broken trust, destroyed support and 69 years of life lost in that one moment? This is not just the news of a robbery or murder, but a story of pain in which greed overpowered relationships, trust and humanity. This pain increases when the couple does not have any children.
