BENGALURU: A man killed his estranged wife by slitting her throat with a knife and also left her two-and-half-year-old child injured, in Hennur police limits. The police have arrested the accused and booked a case of murder.

Sheik Sohail and Tabsim Baby, both hailing from West Bengal, were married about 14 years ago. But, after coming to know about Tabsim’s illicit affair six years ago, Sohail took her back to Kolkata.
