Indore man found hanging, wife found with throat slit at home in Rau

A woman's body was found on a bed and her husband's body was found hanging inside a house in Sai Vihar Colony in the Rau area of Indore on Sunday. According to available information, the husband first slit his wife's throat and then hanged himself.

The deceased have been identified as Pawan Soni and his wife Varsha. Pawan was a native of Rewa. He lived in a rented house in Indore and made and sold parathas.

It has been said that before the incident, Pawan had sent his 15-year-old son and 7-year-old daughter out of the house to play. When the two children returned in the evening, they were terrified to see the bodies of their mother and father inside the house. They ran out screaming and called people living nearby.

It has also emerged after the incident that Varsha used to talk on the phone to a young man named Rehan. Some time earlier, it was Pawan himself who had called Rehan for welding work.

Pawan had told his associates that his wife was planning with Rehan to kill him and the children. He had also said that he had a recording of this.

Police have not made anything clear so far in the case. Police will also have Pawan's mobile phone examined.
