Wife, lover held for husband’s slaying

Rajkot: Sayla police of Surendranagar district on Friday arrested a 38-year-old woman and her paramour in connection with the murder of the woman’s husband Jema Vaghela (40), a farmer of Dhankniya village in Sayla taluka, on May 13 midnight. Rekha and Vaghela were married for 15 years and the couple has two sons and a daughter. While the unsuspecting family members even performed the final rites of the deceased, the victim’s nephew had some doubts and collected circumstantial evidence. He later filed an application before the police which resulted in the arrest of the two accused. According to Sayla police, they have arrested Rekha Vaghela (38) and her paramour Bharat Rangpara (37), a resident of Songadh village in Thangadh taluka of Surendranagar district. Based on the application by the nephew, Ramesh, police launched a probe and called in Rekha for questioning on Thursday. “Rekha spilled the beans and confessed to the crime and revealed the sequence of events that led to the murder of her husband,” said a Sayla police official. According to cops, Rekha was having an extra marital affair with Rangpara who worked as an agricultural labourer and the duo wanted to elope. But before doing so, they decided to eliminate Vaghela and they hatched a devious plan. On May 13, Rekha and her husband went to their farm for the night and as per the plan asked Bharat to come there at midnight. Bharat arrived at midnight and the duo strangulated Vaghela in his sleep,” police said. After committing the murder, Bharat returned to his home and as scripted, Rekha called up Ramesh and informed him that her husband died after getting accidentally trapped in a barbed wire fencing. Ramesh and others reached the spot and even as the family wanted to do an autopsy of the deceased, Rekha resisted their moves and asked them to cremate the body immediately.
