In the small village of Umarani, near Chikkodi, a horrifying act unfolded late Wednesday night, one born of anger and desperation.
A mother, Savitri Itnal, took a step most of us could never imagine — she killed her husband.
Why? Because, according to sources, he tried to harm the one person she couldn’t stand to see hurt: their daughter.
The story begins with a betrayal. Savitri’s husband, Srimant Itnal, allegedly attempted to assault their daughter after Savitri refused his advances.
Just think about that — a man meant to protect his family turning into their greatest threat. It’s a moment that would shake anyone to their core, and for Savitri, it was the breaking point.
That night, as her children slept, she acted. With a large stone, she ended her husband’s life, crushing his head. But fear is a powerful thing.
Worried about what might happen if the authorities discovered the body, she took drastic measures.
Savitri reportedly cut the body into pieces, placed them in a barrel, and rolled it to a nearby field where she buried them.
After what can only be described as a nightmarish ordeal, Savitri Itnal methodically set about erasing every trace of what had happened.
Returning home, she didn’t just sit in shock — she acted, driven by a mix of fear and determination to cover her tracks.
First, she gathered everything that could link her to the act: the knives, the bed her husband had slept on, and his blood-soaked clothes.
She stuffed them all into a bag, tied it to a stone, and dumped it into a well. But she wasn’t done yet.
The barrel that had briefly held his dismembered body?
She cleaned it thoroughly and tossed it into the well too. Then came the grim task of scrubbing the blood-stained spot where it had all unfolded.
Even the stone she used to crush her husband’s head wasn’t left to chance — she washed it meticulously and stashed it in a shed at home.
But the chilling cleanup didn’t end there.
Sources say Savitri took a bath, burned the clothes she had been wearing, and dumped the ashes outside.
Finally, she turned her attention to her husband’s phone. She switched it off and kept it with her, ensuring no loose ends were left.
As dawn broke over the village of Umarani, Savitri’s desperate attempt to hide her actions unraveled. Her elder daughter, who woke up during the grim cleanup, was warned to stay silent.
“Say nothing,” Savitri reportedly told her, a mix of urgency and fear in her voice. But secrets this dark rarely stay buried.
It didn’t take long for villagers to discover the gruesome scene in the nearby field. Shocked and horrified, they alerted the police, setting events in motion.
When officers arrived and began their investigation, Savitri didn’t hold back. She confessed to the crime, saying her actions were driven by one unshakable motive: protecting her child.
The Chikkodi police took her into custody and are now piecing together the events that led to this harrowing night.
According to authorities, the victim, Srimant Itnal, was no stranger to conflict. He was known as a heavy drinker who frequently quarreled with Savitri.
Demanding money for liquor and pressuring her to buy him a motorcycle, he had long been a source of strain in the household.
The story of Savitri Itnal took an even darker turn as more details emerged.
According to police, her husband, Srimant Itnal, not only terrorized his family with his drinking and demands but also forced Savitri to sleep with other men to earn money.
She reportedly complied for the sake of her children, enduring humiliation and pain to keep the family afloat.
But when Srimant turned his predatory gaze toward their daughter, Savitri reached her breaking point.
Unable to bear the abuse any longer, she bludgeoned him to death in a moment of raw desperation.
“Enough was enough,” she later told the police, confessing to the crime.
This tragic case has cast a harsh spotlight on the devastating impact of unchecked domestic violence and abuse.
It’s a chilling reminder of the situations some women and children endure behind closed doors.
The incident has sparked urgent calls for better support systems, stronger protection measures, and more accessible resources for families trapped in such horrifying cycles.
Except for the innocence of victims, nothing of value was lost in this situation. His ashes should be flushed down a toilet where they belong.
