A Noida property dealer strangled to death his wife with a seat belt while his two children wept in the back seat of the car and tried to stop him from committing the murder late on Thursday night. He then drove to the Sector 39 police station and surrendered himself before the police.
Sherpal, a resident of C 148 of Sector 51, suspected that his wife Sonia Yadav was having an extra marital affair. The couple had a heated argument on the issue while they were returning home from a temple along with their two children. The argument turned so violent that Sherpal stopped the car and started beating Sonia. When she retaliated, he strangled her to death using his car seat belt. All this while, his two kids, two-year-old Daksh and seven-year-old Shreyansh, cowered in the back seat, shouting and weeping as they watched their mother getting killed. Shreyansh even tried to save Sonia but could do nothing against his father who threatened to kill him as well.
Police official were shocked when Sherpal entered the sector 39 police station of Noida and said, “I have killed my wife and her body is in the car”. Immediately, policemen rushed to the car and found the body of a woman was lying on the front seat and her two children were weeping in the rear seat.
Soon after the incident, a smiling Sherpal told MiD DAY from behind bars at the police station: “I don’t regret having killed her. At least now I have got respite from our daily fights.”
According to the police, Shreyansh is so shocked after the incident that for quite sometime, he kept on repeating over and over again that ‘my father has killed my mother.’ The child told the police that Sherpal often used to beat his mother.
“Yesterday also they started fighting in the car and when I tried to stop him, my father asked me to stay quiet or he would beat me up too,” Shreyansh reportedly told the police.
Sherpal was arrested after the murder .Meanwhile angry relative of Sonia came to the police station and asked that Sherpal be handed over to them so that they may take their revenge.
According to a senior police official, “Sherpal has confessed to his crime. He said that he was under a lot of stress because his wife had eloped with someone for 15 days.”
Sherpal is not regretting for his act as he said, “I don’t regret for what ever I have done at least I got freedom from everyday fight. ”
