Indian-Origin Man Confesses to Wife's Manslaughter in Australia
A man named Vikrant Thakur, who is of Indian origin, was in court in Australia.
He admitted to hurting his wife, Supriya, but said he did not mean to kill her.
The police found Supriya unconscious at their home, and she could not be saved.
Vikrant is in jail and will go to court again in April.
Friends of Supriya started a fundraiser to help her son, and they have raised over $11,000 so far.
Supriya was a hardworking mother who wanted to be a nurse to help people and give her son a good life.
Vikrant Thakur, 42, confessed to manslaughter but pleaded not guilty to murder of his wife Supriya Thakur, 36, in Adelaide Magistrates Court.
Supriya Thakur was found unconscious at their Northfield home on December 21, 2025, and could not be revived despite CPR efforts.
Police were called to the residence following reports of a domestic assault, and Vikrant Thakur was arrested at the scene.
A fundraiser for Supriya Thakur's son has raised over $11,000 to cover funeral expenses and provide ongoing support.
Vikrant Thakur is expected to remain in custody until at least April 2026, with the next court appearance scheduled for that month.
