A tribal woman was killed allegedly by her husband in a drunken tiff in Jharkhand's Khunti district, police said today.

Superintendent of police Sudarshan Prasad Mandal said the 45-year-old tribal woman was hit with a stone allegedly by her husband and fatally injured following an altercation at Jaltanda village on their way back from a weekly market last night.

Both of them had consumed 'hadia' (locally brewed rice beer) together at the weekly market, the officer said.

The man had flown into a rage during the tiff and hit his wife with the stone on her face which injured her fatally.
 

The body was recovered and the man arrested after police lodged a case in this regard, Mandal said.

Meanwhile, police have arrested five persons in connection with the murder of a person on October 18.

Nagrendra Mahato was killed over a monetary issue on Thursday in Tazna river guard room allegedly by the five arrested persons.

Mandal said the police seized two country-made pistols, one regular pistol, five cartridges, a blood-stained knife and mobile phones from their possession last night from the village.
