It is learnt when Muttappa found that she had died he had dumped the body in an isolated spot. On Wednesday, when the body was traced, Muttappa was at his work as usual. Police who saw blood stains on the floor and even outside the couple’s house grew suspicious and arrested Muttappa.

Further investigations are underway.

Not at all concerned about an innocent. He has killed two of them . There shouldn’t be any sympathy on him.
