Spine chilling details of Neha Hiremath’s murder have been revealed in her postmortem report. She was brutally stabbed to death by a stalker on her college campus on April 18, 2024.
The killer, Fayaz, stabbed her 14 times in the chest, abdomen, and stomach, according to the report.
“The stab marks were found in the neck and heart regions. There were also wounds on the back. In total, 14 wounds were found, of which the deepest was in the neck at 2 inch. The girl lost her life just 58 seconds after the attack as the stab wounds ruptured her neck region, cutting off the air pipes and blood circulation,” A source at KIMS Hospital in Hubballi said.
Neha dies on the way to Kim’s hospital, which is just 1.5 km from the college.
Neha was studying at KLE College for a first-year Master of Computer Application (MCA) at Vidyanagar in Hubli. The murderer Fayaz was earlier her classmate. Reportedly, she turned down his marriage proposal, which prompted him to kill her.
The murder case, which sparked widespread outrage, has now turned into a political slugfest between the ruling party, Congress, and the opposition BJP.
