Ashok Kumar Guru, 53, was arrested and charged with murdering his wife, Northeast Philadelphia Police said this morning.
Officers arrived at the Gifford Street home Thursday morning after receiving a call that someone was screaming inside.
The victim, Shakuntla Guru, 42, was found on the living room floor with what investigators suggest are burn marks. There is also evidence that the woman was beaten with a shovel handle and strangled.
Police believe infidelity was the reason for the attack.
A compilation of daily news articles from around the United States about deaths (including both people and animals) that appear to occur in the context of a past or present intimate relationship, focusing on 2009-present. (NOTE: this blog is limited to incidents that appear in the media and are captured by our search terms. We recognize this is not an exhaustive portrayal of all deaths resulting from intimate violence.) When is society going to realize intimate violence makes victims of us all?
