Dimapur, October 1 (MExN): The exchange of words over the reported attempt of a woman to murder her husband, on September 25, continues. Dimapur Tsungiki Ekhung issued a rejoinder today to another which was issued earlier by the Kukruma Union of Dimapur.
According to the Tsungiki union, the woman, one Lothungbeni and here husband Thipputo Kezo were a live-in couple since 2008 and out of which they had “two issues.”According to reliable informing, the union said, the couple often quarreled resulting in severe beatings by the husband.
“Unable to bear the frequent inhumane atrocities meted out to her, specially when the husband was in a drunken state, the victim/wife for fear of her life started living separately in a relative’s house in a nearby locality along with the youngest child being 5-6 months old, since 2-3 months back,” the Tsungiki union said.
Narrating the events on September 25, the union said that at around 7:44 pm, the woman received an unexpected call from one “Ati” staying at 5 mile. “Ati asked the victim to come to 5th mile. At first the victim refused to go saying she had no business to go there at such late evening. But when Ati persisted, the victim finally decided to go. She kept the infant child in the care of a female relative and proceeded toward 5th mile by an auto. When she reached 5th mile, Ati was waiting for her on the road side. She got down from the auto and Ati took her toward Tetso College,” the union said.
Narrating further, the union said the two went towards the college and then saw four “guys” including the husband. “As soon as she came near, the husband, without a single exchange of word, suddenly attacked her by delivering a vicious kick on the chest,” the Tsungiki union said.
She was kicked several times in the abdomen. She recently had a post-caesarean delivery and had 5-6 months old stitches, the union said.
The husband then took out a wrench from a nearby parked car and began striking the woman. One of the “guys” intervened and caught hold of the wrench which saved the woman’s life, the union said. She is said to have been taken to the woman’s place, left her there and took away the child. The woman was taken to Zion Hospital in Dimapur for medical treatment for four days, the union said. The union lamented that from the time the incident occurred and prior to filing the FIR on the afternoon of September 26, till the arrest of the man by the police, the union said, neither did the accused or his relatives even made any effort to visit the woman in the hospital.
In fact, the Tsungiki union said, the father of the man and his relatives came to the hospital and started telling the father of the woman to “withdraw the case within 24 hours and have his son release from police custody,” the Tsungiki union said.
The Tsungiki union said that it would not make any more statements on the matter through the Media to not “sub-judice the case” as the matter is under police investigation.
