The deceased has been identified as Pini Goala, while the accused, her husband Bulu Goala, was arrested by the police. According to reports, Bulu, under the influence of alcohol, got into an argument with his wife, which soon turned violent.

A neighbour mentioned that the accused would always return home inebriated and complain about all sorts of things about his wife and would beat her every day. He mentioned that, earlier too, he had taken the dao (machette) to cut her, but on Thursday night, the unfortunate incident became inevitable.

Authorities have launched an investigation to uncover further details behind the crime. Meanwhile, Pini Goala’s body has been sent for post-mortem as legal proceedings begin.
