A 29‑year‑old woman from Tangedikonda village in Polavaram mandal died in Eluru district after being stabbed repeatedly by a stalker. The victim, who lived in a rented house in Jangareddygudem and worked at a bakery, was attacked alone at home on Friday evening. Police identified the assailant as Ramakrishna, a resident of the same village, who allegedly entered the house and stabbed her with a knife. He fled the scene, prompting a manhunt. The woman was taken to Jangareddygudem area hospital, then transferred to a private hospital in Rajamahendravaram, but died on Saturday during treatment. In a recorded statement before her death, she said the person who had been stalking her in the name of love had stabbed her.
