The wife of the Uttar-Pradesh man who held 23-children-hostage at a birthday party has died of injuries after she was beaten and attacked with stones by neighbours. The man, Subhash-Batham, had been shot dead by the police-last-night after a 10-hour standoff at a village in Farrukhabad. An accused in a 2001 murder, he was described as an aggressive and crass man prone to violence.
