In a heartbreaking and deeply disturbing incident, a newlywed couple tragically lost their lives just days after their wedding — allegedly at the hands of the groom’s former girlfriend.
The young couple, whose love story had just begun, reportedly consumed food items believed to have been poisoned and delivered to them by the groom’s ex-partner. What should have been the beginning of a joyful new chapter has instead turned into a devastating nightmare for their families and community.
According to sources close to the investigation, the suspect — the groom’s ex-girlfriend — had previously been in a long-term relationship with him, spanning nearly six years. Their breakup and his subsequent engagement to another woman reportedly left her heartbroken and emotionally unstable.
It is alleged that, driven by jealousy and resentment, she prepared and sent food to the newlyweds under the guise of a gift. Tragically, the couple consumed the meal, not suspecting any danger — only to fall critically ill soon after. Despite medical efforts, both succumbed to the suspected poisoning.
Witnesses described the accused as visibly distraught and jealous following the engagement. Friends and family recall her struggling to accept the end of the relationship, though no one expected her emotions to spiral into what authorities are now calling a premeditated act of revenge.
The newlyweds were described by loved ones as “inseparable” and “full of life.” Their sudden and senseless deaths have sent shockwaves through the community, leaving friends, relatives, and neighbors grappling with grief and disbelief.
“They were so happy together,” said one friend. “You could see how much they loved each other. No one deserved this — especially not them.”
Authorities have confirmed that an investigation is underway, and the suspect is currently in custody, assisting with inquiries.
As the community mourns this unspeakable loss, vigils and memorials are being planned to honor the couple’s memory — a young love cruelly and abruptly cut short.
