Another Woman Present Nearby Recounts The Horror “The incident occurred at around 12.00 Noon. Those two people (the victim woman and the accused man) were there, sitting and talking to each other. They were talking nicely. Then, I cannot say what suddenly happened. Since I was inside doing my duty, she came running to me,” a woman named Poma Soren said. “I don’t know when her throat had been cut, but suddenly she came to me and said, ‘Save me! Save me!’ I told her to come inside, and she came and sat. I gave her some water to drink. Then I saw that her throat was deeply cut. After making her sit and giving her water, I ran to the spot. There was a bedsheet of hers, so I brought it and tied it around her neck,” Poma Soren narrated. “First, I asked her, ‘What is your relationship with him?’ But she didn’t say anything. She wasn’t saying anything at that time. Finally, she said, ‘I love him.’ That’s all she said. She didn’t say anything else. She was alone,” Poma Soren added. No comments were received from the local police in this regard. The killing in a busy public place during broad daylight has caused concern among residents.
