    Mr.Joyson, Mangalore and Rajesh D, Manglore, you both are 110% right where one women kills other women but blame goes husband with simple terms..universally.. easily accepted way that’ Husband drinks and beats wife, every divorced, separated , have extra marital affairs lady says same thins that Husband drinks and beats her, but in reality truth is different where wife hates husband, non-cooperative that forced him for drink as medication relief.

    As a social worker here in Mumbai,this is my experience when I interact with couples disputes, all cases Wife is at fault and her blame is only ONE- Husband drinks and beats her-There is organization in Mumbai which helps men’s for way out, name is Vastav Foundation-

    Past 5 years cases are increased due to free, secret communication media like texting, apps, e-mails..etc

    Sad news, poor children, I blame all three of them for this Incident. There are cases, mother influence daughter in her day to day life resulting in divorce. Taking sides of daughter when daughter is wrong and misleading daughter when husband is right makes difficult to lead a smooth family life. Respect mother in law, give her expensive sari, but keep her away from day to day life.

    He is a coward. He is frustrated with his financial burden and takes on his wife. This kind of incident will be happening more in coming days in D.K. People should understand by going behind B.D, RSS, KFD and so on. They will be trained to fight and do illegal activities.
    The leaders and their family people will be working in good company making money and they will be protected by this kind of people. So sad.

    In most cases the woman are very much responsible for such incidents. Woman triggers anger in men and it goes on. The anger and frustration builds up day by day due to constant pressure, nagging, dragging, not caring etc by woman. The anger that is built up will explode some day. I am not saying this is true in every case. Lets see how many agree and how many disagree.

    In most of the cases, it is constant nagging, comparing with others, irritating of the woman and interference in personal affairs of the couple by inlaws etc. aggravates and flares up a small misunderstanding, and in the presence of alcohol on the ahead in a moment of rage such incidents take place, but am sure the man might be repenting heavily after he came back to normal!!!

    You are right, it is not always right to blame a single party for such incidents!! Sure with the cohabiting mom-in-law there could have definitely major differences cropped up hence the daily fights as reported!! In the report it is also clearly mentioned that all the three of them were inebriated not the man alone so why blame the man alone!! Empathize with the nearly orphaned innocent children!!

    Again woman has to be blamed for all Evils. The incident spills men hatred on first glance but sure there is other side of story. One can understand all the hell and harassment this man went threw in his own home , co habiting mother in law looks very suspicious. This dragged him to drunkard ness , when there is no help around , he took this drastic step. Sorry about people deceased and let him find peace at least at jail. Also sorry for kids , they need someone to care of till father comes out of jail.

    Naari swargakke daari olidare!!!! Maari munidare!!! it is true. I have seen many incidents when a man after getting married a woman comes in his life he leaves his all bad habits. It is because of a womans love... and if a man drinks for his pleasure that means he is not getting any pleasure at his house. There fore a woman is equally responsible to keep her husband happy in every angles so that he will never go to seek outside pleasure. you accept it or not I dont care!!!

    Mr. Kamath, I see everyday news many of our sisters losing life bcoz of liquor. If they are tortured by their husband, y they r staying with that drunken husband and lose life? There are many jobs for women in Mangalore and udupi, and the wages are also fine. they can work themselves and live independently. SIMPLE.

    " john pinto, mangalore/dublin " , look at the condition of the house in the snap. Do you feel the wife would have been educated to get a job somehere in Mangalore and udupi??? Nowadays graduates are not getting a job and do you think an simple uneducated housewife would get a job easily ?? If it was so easy to get a job, people like you would not leave Mangalore and run to Dublin !!!.. Come on John, just dont blabber for the sake of writing any rubbish.
    A drunken man killed 2 people !! If he was not drunk, im sure he would not have commited the murder.
    Bottom line: Excess Liquor is the main reason for many of the murders nowadays.

    In India cheap alcohol is the source of all evils. We don't waste time in banning a food like beef which is not harmful but allow free flow of cheap liquor which ruins a family like this. Shame on our politicians. My heart goes to the three orphaned children who now have to grow up without mother love.
