A woman who killed her husband when he refused to have sex with her has been jailed for life.

Vimla Vaghela initially claimed she had killed husband Narsinh in self-defence, the Times of India reported, but was later charged with murder.

The 54-year-old accused Narsinh of having an affair when he turned down sex at their home in Ahmedabad, India.

She then beat him around the head with a stick, and he died of multiple injuries.

After he died, Vaghela locked the house and went to the police station in Sardarnagar to inform them of her husband’s death.



A judge sentenced Vaghela to life in prison.

She was also fined 2,000 rupees (£20) and will have to serve another six months in jail if she refuses to pay.
