Indian-Origin Man Admits Killing Wife
A man named Vikrant Thakur, who is from India but lives in Australia, admitted in court that he killed his wife, Supriya.
However, he said he should not be charged with murder because he did not mean to kill her.
The police found Supriya unconscious at their home in December, and she could not be saved.
Vikrant is waiting for more evidence, like DNA results, to be presented in court.
Supriya's friends and community have started a fundraiser to help her son, who is now without his mother.
The next court hearing is in April.
Vikrant Thakur, a 42-year-old Indian-origin man, admitted to killing his wife, Supriya Thakur, 36, in Adelaide, Australia.
Thakur pleaded not guilty to murder but admitted to manslaughter, arguing that the killing was not intentional.
Police found Supriya unconscious at their home on December 21 and were unable to revive her.
The court adjourned the matter until April to await further evidence, including DNA results and a post-mortem report.
Supriya's friends and community members have started a fundraiser to support her son, highlighting her dedication to her family and her aspirations to become a registered nurse.
