HYDERABAD: Punjagutta police have arrested a 29-year-old software engineer for his role in the murder of his wife at their flat in Anand Nagar colony.
The victim, Shaguftha Shereen, 28, was stabbed to death at her house when she was alone on Friday. After a thorough probe, Punjagutta police on Sunday arrested Shereen's husband Amer Mohammed Jamal, a software engineer with IP Soft India Pvt Ltd at Raheja IT Park and his friend Sudhamsh Netha alias Sunny, a salesman at Ceramic World, Miyapur.
On interrogation, the accused confessed to having committed the crime. Police then recovered three tolas of gold, Rs 2.97 lakh cash stolen from Shereen's flat by Sunny at Amer's instance. A knife and blood-stained clothes were also found at Sunny's house in East Marredpally.
Amer told the police that Shereen had been mentally harassing him since their marriage and due to her domineering behavior they were forced to leave his parents' house. "According to Amer, his wife even threatened to implicate him in a dowry harassment case if he did anything against her wish," Punjagutta inspector (detective) K Sattaiah Yadav said.
Unable to put up with the harassment, Amer hatched a plan to eliminate her and sought his childhood friend Sunny's help. Accordingly, Amer provided Sunny with a duplicate key to his flat and before leaving to office on Friday morning, he gave Shereen tea mixed with sleeping pills.
After Amer went to office, Sunny entered the house using the duplicate key. He saw that Shereen was asleep in the bedroom and picked up a knife from the kitchen. "Sunny stabbed Shereen with the knife several times and killed her on the spot. After that, he ransacked the house and stole gold and cash from an almirah to make it look like a murder for gain," the DI said.
However, after the preliminary examination of the crime scene, police discovered that the murder was committed by a known offender as there was no forced entry and the main door was locked by the assailant while leaving the place. They kept a watch on Amer and discovered that he was using a new cellphone and SIM card to communicate with his friend Sunny. He was picked up and scratch marks and knife injuries on his hands made it clear about his involvement in the murder. The duo was remanded in judicial custody.
