KOCHI: A 24-year-old woman was allegedly stabbed to death by her boyfriend at Thuruthipuram near North Paravur in Ernakulam on Thursday.
The deceased is Suramya, a native of Choondy. Suramya had contested the previous panchayat elections as a Twenty20 candidate. According to the police, Suramya and the accused, Shibin, were in a relationship. The incident occurred around 10am at Shibin’s house at Muravanthuruth.
