A woman died after she was hit by a stone by her husband at their house in Pratap Singaram village in Ghatkesar mandal on the city outskirts.
The victim identified as Niharika (35) was married to Srikar Reddy alias Shekhar Reddy about 8 years ago and the couple has two children.
Police said Shekhar would often pick up a fight with Niharika over trivial matters and more recently the couple had frequently argued over the house which they live in, that was given to Niharika by her parents.
It is suspected that after one such argument, Shekhar bludgeoned Niharika to death with a stone.
