BANGALORE: A 30-year-old woman was stabbed to death in Peenya police station limits on Saturday.

The assailant repeatedly stabbed Nagarathnamma (30) and she had around 10 wounds in the abdomen. She was murdered apparently out of jealousy, Joint Commissioner of Police (Crime) Gopal B. Hosur told The Hindu.

Around 11 a.m. when Nagarathnamma was alone at her house on 1st Cross, Bhuvaneshwarinagar, a man walked in, stabbed her and ran away. A profusely bleeding Nagarathnamma came out of the house and collapsed. Neighbours rushed her to a hospital and she died there around noon.

Nagarathnamma of Bhuvanenahalli in Nelamangala taluk married Mallesh 10 years ago. For the past few years, she was living with Raju, a garment factory employee, in Bhuvaneshwarinagar.
