The police were alerted when they received a report of a 42-year-old woman being seriously injured and surrounded by a large group of people at a local clinic in Lajamanu at around 6:20 PM yesterday.

Upon arriving at the scene, the officers were devastated to find the woman had succumbed to her injuries. As per the police statement, "It is believed she was stabbed with an edged weapon." Her 46-year-old partner was immediately arrested in close proximity and is currently in police custody.
