Circle Inspector of Chodavaram police station S Kiran Kumar identified the deceased as S Bangarayya (50), a farmer while the accused were identified as S Kondamma (40) and her boyfriend S Konari (50).
Kondamma with the help of Konari, a resident of the same area and farmer by profession, strangled her husband when he was asleep with a rope today morning after Bangarayya allegedly impeded their affair, the police official said.
However, the woman continued the affair despite her husband's warning.
Kondamma claimed that her husband died of a heart attack, but locals and Bangarayya's son found injuries on Bangarayya neck, after which they lodged a complaint at the A Koduru police station, the police official said.
During the interrogation, Kondamma confessed to the crime, the police official said.
A case has been registered and the woman has been taken into their custody, while a manhunt has been launched for Konari, the police official said.
