Multiple reports describe an incident in which a wife dies after being bitten by a cobra allegedly used by her husband. The accounts say the man brought home a deadly cobra and kept it confined, including claims that it was kept in a jar before the fatal event. Authorities and reporting in these sources state that the cobra was starved to increase the likelihood of it biting and was then used against the wife. The reports also say the husband drugged his wife with sleeping pills so she would not wake when the snake attacked. The wife ultimately dies from the bite.
Both outlets present the case as a deliberate attempt to kill the victim using the cobra and to prevent her from responding. While the specific legal status and detailed investigation steps are not fully outlined in the provided excerpts, the consistent elements across sources are the purchase and confinement of the cobra, claims the animal was starved, the use of sleeping pills, and the resulting fatal bite.
