The police have confirmed the death was a result of foul play, and a murder investigation was initiated.

The investigation is currently focused on the victim's wife, who has been detained for questioning. Authorities are looking into the possibility that the victim’s wife may have been involved in the murder, as reports suggest she had an extramarital affair.

Some residents allegedly caused damage to the property in a display of anger. The police have not reported any arrests beyond the victim’s wife at this time. The body has been sent for a post-mortem examination, and the police are continuing their investigation, examining all possible angles to establish the circumstances surrounding the murder.
