Telangana woman kills husband, disfigures lover: Mutton soup spills the beans
A woman murdered her husband and nearly swapped him with her paramour through plastic surgery but it was a bowl of mutton soup which ruined the perfect crime plot. M. Swathi, a 27-year-old nurse at a private hospital in the town, was married to Sudhakar Reddy for three years and they also had a child. However, she came close to Rajesh, a physiotherapist. They plotted to first get rid of Reddy and later disfigure Rajesh's face to pass him off as Sudhakar. Reddy's relatives got suspicious when he refused to have mutton soup served to patients with burn injuries and said he is a vegetarian. When they started asking him some questions including the identity of some relatives, he stopped speaking and was conversing with signs. The two injected anaesthesia to Reddy on November 27 and when he fell unconscious, hit him on his head after which he died. They later dumped and burnt the body in the forests. Swathi then made a plan to swap her dead husband with Rajesh by making some changes in his physical appearance through plastic surgery. She then poured a small amount of acid on Rajesh's face and informed Reddy's relatives that unknown persons had attacked him. 'Reddy' was rushed to a corporate hospital in Hyderabad, where doctors advised plastic surgery. Reddy's family members alerted police. When the police grilled Swathi, she confessed to killing her husband with the help of Rajesh. A police officer said Rajesh will be taken into custody after discharge. -PTC News
