Ahmedabad: The city witnessed yet another chilling murder on Friday evening, leaving residents questioning the rising tide of violent crimes in the city. A domestic feud turned deadly when a 31-year-old man stabbed his wife to death near PT College Road in Paldi.

To resolve their differences, the man and his family members went to the woman's workplace in a residential society on PT College Road.
