Man kills wife over domestic fights, surrenders within hours | Rajkot News


Rajkot: Domestic squabbles between a couple took an ugly turn when the 40-year-old man allegedly murdered his wife in Jetpur town near Rajkot late on Wednesday night.
Within hours of bludgeoning his wife, Shabnam (26), to death with a wooden stick, the accused, Firoz Maadam, surrendered at the Virpur police station around 9am on Thursday. He also informed a relative about the murder.
The couple was married for about 10 years and lived in a rented house with their two children. The landlord, 50-year-old Lalgar Bavaji, filed a complaint at Jetpur Udyognagar police station against Maadam, who reportedly confessed to killing his wife out of frustration due to persistent fights.
On Thursday, Lalgar was informed by a relative, Amit, that Firoz called him to confess the crime and planned to surrender to the police. When Lalgar checked the room, he found Shabnam lying in a corner, covered with a quilt. Blood was seen oozing from her head, and a wooden stick was propped against the wall nearby.
Their marriage was marked by frequent quarrels, leading the woman to leave the house several times. However, the couple often reconciled and resumed living together.
Investigating officer M M Thakor said that during initial questioning, Maadam admitted to killing his wife between midnight and 1 am when their children were asleep. The couple worked as daily wage labourers.
