Kozhikode: A drug addict stabbed his wife to death and brutally attacked her parents here on Tuesday. The deceased is Puthuppadi native Nakkilambad Shibila. Her parents, Nakkilambad Abdurahman and Haseena are hospitalised with severe injuries. 

The accused, Yasir from Panchayath Bazar in Puthuppadi, remains at large. The incident happened around 6:45 pm at Shibila's home near Kakkad. Shibila was staying with her parents due to issues with her husband. Yasir reached their house and attacked them. Shibila was stabbed in her throat and the back of her ear, while Abdurahman sustained serious injuries to his head. Haseena was injured while trying to stop the attack. 

They were immediately rushed to Thamarassery Taluk Hospital and later shifted to Kozhikode Medical College Hospital, where Shibila was confirmed dead. "Her parents are seriously injured, but not in a critical condition," said a police officer at the hospital casualty.

Yasir is believed to have fled the scene in his white Alto car. The police said that they have intensified efforts to track him down. 

In February, Shibila had filed a complaint against Yasir at Thamarassery police, accusing him of abusing her. In her complaint, she alleged that Yasir pawned her ornaments and sold others. She also claimed that he took loans from financial institutions in her name without her consent. 

Shibila also stated that Yasir is a drug addict and attacked her regularly. She further claimed that Yasir's parents, Thalamel Mattathu Yusuf and Sabira, also supported the assaults. She also mentioned that Yasir forcibly drove her out of his house, along with their young kid, without even allowing to take her clothes. 

Meanwhile, it is alleged that Thamarassery Police did not act on her complaint and attempted to reconcile the parties involved.
