29-Year-Old Woman Chased & Fatally Stabbed at Home, Dies in Hospital
In a chilling incident reflecting persistent concerns over women's safety, a 29-year-old woman was chased down and repeatedly stabbed with a knife inside her rented residence in Andhra Pradesh's Eluru district. The victim, originally hailing from Tangedikonda village in Polavaram Mandal, was employed at a local bakery and lived in rented accommodation in Jangareddygudem town. According to law enforcement officials, the horrific crime unfolded on Friday evening when the victim was alone inside her house. The assailant, identified as Ramakrishna—a native of the same ancestral village—trailed the woman, barged through her doorway, and launched a frenzied knife assault before fleeing the premises, sparking deep outrage across the local community.

Before succumbing to her wounds on Saturday while undergoing emergency surgical care, the victim recorded a formal dying declaration with the police, stating that Ramakrishna had persistently stalked and harassed her before executing the lethal knife assault.
