A 28-year-old woman was found murdered in an eucalyptus groove at Peenya on Thursday.
The victim, Geetha, worked as a governess in a primary school. She was married to Prashanth, an employee of a private firm. They have a five-year-old daughter.
Geetha had separated from Prashanth for the past one month and was living with Swamy, an autorickshaw driver. Prashanth objected to this and the couple fought frequently over the issue.
On Thursday, some passers-by found her body with multiple stab injuries. Police suspect Prashanth and are trying to track him down.
