Thane: A 29-year-old man allegedly killed his wife as she refused to allow him to marry another woman over his desperation to have a male child, police said today.
Kunal Sonak Khadke and his wife Indu (28) lived in Bothra village of Sahapur taluka in Thane district and the couple have three daughters.
Kunal desired a son and hence wanted to marry another woman, Kasara police station inspector Pradip Kasbe said.
