Ghaziabad, June 17  A heated argument led a 40-year-old woman to commit suicide by hanging herself after she killed her husband with a mallet here, police said Wednesday.
The incident occurred Tuesday night in Shalimar Extension in Ghaziabad, police added.
Vimla got into an argument with her husband Ram Prakash Maurya, 45, when he refused
to accompany her for a walk. In a fit of rage Vimla picked up the mallet from the kitchen and banged it on her husband’s head, police said.
