Doctor Found Dead in Dharwad, 8-Year-Old Son Battling for Life
Police said the wife was taken into custody as investigators probe a possible domestic dispute and a critically injured 8-year-old son remains in hospital.
- On Wednesday, police discovered 45-year-old anaesthetist Dr. Kiran Honnannavar fatally stabbed in his Dharwad apartment; his eight-year-old son was also found with severe injuries and remains in critical condition.
- Authorities have detained the victim's wife, Dr. Priya, also a doctor, for questioning, as Police Commissioner N. Shashikumar reported only three people—the couple and their child—were present inside the home.
- Preliminary inquiries revealed inconsistencies in Priya's statements about Honnannavar's whereabouts, as she allegedly provided conflicting accounts to callers starting Tuesday evening, leading investigators to suspect the murder occurred Tuesday.
- Police registered a murder case and are investigating a potential domestic dispute as the motive based on family complaints, while the injured boy reportedly autistic continues battling for his life.
- Investigators are gathering evidence at Ranka Stello Apartments to ascertain the crime's circumstances, and Shashikumar stated officials are working to verify details while the investigation remains ongoing.
