A 45-year-old unemployed man allegedly killed his wife after being unable to handle her illness and medical treatment in Maharashtra's Parbhani district, a police official said on Monday.
The incident took place on Saturday night when the man stabbed his wife, who was suffering from a brain tumour, with a sharp weapon at their home in Mudgal village, located about 500 km from here, he said.
The accused later came out of the house and threw his blood-stained clothes nearby. Some locals alerted the police who reached the spot and seized the clothes.
The man was arrested on Sunday, the official said.
