The police team probing the murder bid on a woman at a hospital in Parumala has found that the accused woman had been in relationship with the victim’s husband. The role of the husband in the crime, however, is yet to be proven.
The accused, identified as 30-year-old Anusha, had impersonated a nurse and attempted to kill 25-year-old Sneha, wife of Arun, by stabbing an empty syringe on her. The incident took place on Friday evening when Sneha was about to leave the hospital where she had given birth to a baby days ago.
According to the police, the accused grabbed the victim’s hand by force and attempted to inject air into her body three times using the syringe. On an alarm raised by the woman and her mother, the hospital staff rushed to the spot and detained Anusha. Sneha, meanwhile, was shifted to the labour room for safety reasons.
