Kollam: A man was stabbed to death by his wife’s live-in partner at Puthoor late on Friday. The deceased has been identified as Shyamsundar (41), a native of Kuzhakkad. The police have arrested Dhanesh (37) in connection with the incident.

The incident happened between 11 pm and midnight on Friday. According to the Puthoor Police Inspector, Shyam’s wife and child had been living with Dhanesh for the past four years, which had led to frequent disputes between the two men. 

Last night, the two had an argument at Shyam’s house, after which Dhanesh left. However, he later returned and stabbed Shyam in the neck, police said.

Shyam was living alone in his house, and neighbours learned about the incident this morning. The police are currently at the scene conducting the inquest. The body will be shifted to Kollam Taluk Hospital after completing the formalities.
