MUMBAI: A 24-year-old Parel resident repeatedly stabbed his ex-girlfriend with a knife in the middle of a road in full public view, chased her into a nursing home 50m away, and kept stabbing her there till she collapsed near Chinchpokli in central Mumbai on Friday morning. He then slit his throat, dying on the spot. The woman died of multiple stab wounds nearly seven hours later in hospital.Police said the two broke up 10 days ago after dating for nine years but their relationship began to break down months prior after he suspected her fidelity. The man's relatives said he had been mentally disturbed for a few weeks and had discussed seeking professional help.According to witnesses, the man, Sonu Barai (24), who was unemployed but occasionally worked as a cook, and his ex, Manisha Yadav (24), who lived in his locality and was also unemployed, were on Dattaram Lad Marg near Chinchpokli, walking towards Parel around 10.30am when they began arguing. Within seconds, Barai pulled out a kitchen knife and began stabbing Yadav on the road, an eyewitness told TOI. "I was walking right behind them. The woman screamed and ran towards Aastha Nursing Home nearby. He chased her." Barai caught up with Yadav inside the facility and continued to stab her in front of the staff and many bystanders. Amid panic, many attempted to stop him-some even picked up stones and bamboo sticks to threaten him-but nothing deterred Barai. As the crowd closed in on him, Barai turned the knife on himself and slit his throat.
