Vadodara: Two days after a 45-year-old woman’s body was found near Khodiyarnagar, the cops arrested the husband of the deceased for murder. The Harni police on Monday nabbed Vajesinh Dabhi, a resident of New VIP Road, for allegedly killing his wife Kokila Dabhi, suspecting that she was having an extramarital affair.
According to the police, Vajesinh and Kokila were at loggerheads for some time. Vajesinh suspected that his wife was having an affair with someone and often got into a fight with her. On March 12, she left her home at about 3 pm and returned in the evening. She again left in evening that enraged Vajesinh, who then decided to kill her.
At about 10.30 pm, Vajesinh went out looking for Kokila and spotted her near Khodiyarnagar. Vajesinh first strangled her and then hit her with a cement block that was lying nearby before fleeing from the spot. Vajesinh then went home and acted as if nothing happened. A passer-by saw the body the next day and informed the police who questioned Vajesinh about the murder. After detailed interrogation, Vajesinh admitted to having killed Kokila.
