She killed her man because he was a terrible alcoholic and used to beat her day and night.

On the intervening night of Friday/Saturday the couple had a bitter fight. Lalita was thrashed hard. She, in her defence or in a rush of blood, picked up a Tangi and finished him.

She threw his body in the soak pit. However, when the bad odour began coming, she knew it was her end of hiding the body.
