A nine-month pregnant wife was allegedly strangled to death by her husband just days before their baby was due to be born, according to police. K Anusha, 27, was at their home in Madhurawada, India, when she was rushed to hospital after her husband G Gnaneshwar, 28, told her friends and family she had fallen unconscious. However, when she arrived, medics tragically pronounced her dead on arrival.
The husband was taken into custody by police, where it was revealed he allegedly confessed to struggling his wife after an argument. The victim was due to give birth and was scheduled to be admitted to a private hospital.
During police interviews, it was revealed the couple got married on December 10, 2022, against his parents’ wishes.

Police have now launched an investigation into the exact motive behind the murder.
