A 34-year-old woman identified as Renuka allegedly stabbed her live-in partner to death on Tuesday in Hulimavu, Bengaluru. The deceased has been identified as Javed, who hailed from Kerala.

The accused is from Belagavi district, and the victim, Javed, a resident of Kerala, were in a live-in relationship for the past three and a half years, residing in various places including paying guest accommodations, lodges, service apartments, and rented houses.

They frequently had arguments over various issues, which eventually led to serious differences between them. On Tuesday, a heated argument escalated, and Renuka allegedly stabbed Javed in the chest in a fit of anger.

When neighbors in the same apartment sensed something was wrong, they hurried to Javed’s flat. Upon finding him lying in a pool of blood with Renuka sitting beside him, they rushed him to the hospital, where he was declared brought dead.

Renuka has confessed to her crime and has been arrested by Hulimavu police.
