CHENNAI: The 20-year-old wife of Praveen (26), who was allegedly hacked to death by a five-member gang including the girl’s brother in a case of honour killing, died by suicide.
The girl, Sharmila, attempted to kill herself on April 14 and was moved to Rajiv Gandhi Government General Hospital where she died on Monday night, without responding to treatment.
Praveen’s mother G Chithra said Sharmila was distraught after reading Praveen’s post mortem report. In what Praveen’s family claimed was a suicide note left behind by Sharmila, she wrote, “Wherever RC (Praveen) goes, I go. I don’t want this life without him.”
“Despite all of us always keeping an eye on her and trying to cheer her up everyday, I noticed that she withdrew into a shell after reading descriptions of Praveen’s injuries and subsequent death in the post mortem report,” she said.
