Mysore/Mysuru: Lashkar Police, on Nov. 9, have arrested a 36-year-old man on charges of murdering a woman at Veeranagere on Oct. 17. 

The accused is Alvin, a resident of Hanumanthanagar at Srirangapatna in Mandya.

Details: On Oct. 17, Alvin, who was then residing at Veeranagere in city, picked up a fight with his wife and when a woman (victim) intervened and tried to stop the fight, Alvin had assaulted her by kicking her and dashing her head against the wall besides allegedly stabbing her on the stomach with a knife.

In a bid to evade arrest, Alvin had vacated the house at Veeranagere and shifted to a house at Srirangapatna.  The injured woman, named Mahadevamma, who was admitted to the hospital by her neighbours after the assault, died on Oct. 31, failing to respond to the treatment.
