A 20-year-old woman was last month brutally murdered by a man in broad sight in a horrifying incident that happened in the Vasai area of Maharashtra. The victim was attacked at least 15 times by the attacker with an iron wrench, resulting in her death. The act shocked the entire neighbourhood. According to reports, the assault was motivated by a recent split following a two-year relationship. Incidents like these raise questions about why crimes are committed against those once loved. Mumbai lawyers and cops shed light on the underlying reasons behind such tragic shifts.

A senior police official said that this is not just one such case where a person killed his loved one. This case seems more like a crime that was conducted in a fit of rage. However, there have been several cases in the past where the crimes against loved ones were planned and a proper conspiracy was hatched to commit the heinous crime and get away with it.
