A divorced woman was murdered allegedly by a man with whom she was in a live-in relationship, after he suspected her of moving closely with another person, in Bhainsa town early on Monday.

Police said Ashwini, 30, from Kumsara village, was stabbed to death by Nagesh of Bhainsa. She was found in a pool of blood at a tea stall operated by the two. Nagesh reportedly confessed to killing

Ashwini was divorced from her husband a few years ago and was currently staying with Nagesh. The duo had set up the tea stall in the town five months ago.
