Nabarangpur: A man stoned his wife to death on suspicion of an extramarital affair in the Umerkote area of Nabarangpur district.
After committing the crime, the accused, identified as Biplab Mandal, surrendered to the police and confessed to his crime.
The late woman was identified as a Chumki Mandal.
Sources said the couple had been married for several years and often argued over one reason or another.
Biplab had recently started a dispute with Khumki accusing her of having extramarital affairs with a man from the same village.
They also argued violently on Tuesday. The scene got uglier when Biplab lost his cool and hit the woman with a rock, causing her death on the spot.
When a police team heard about the murder from the defendant, they rushed to the scene and retrieved the body post-mortem. When registering a case, the police opened a detailed investigation into the case.
