Uppinangady, Feb 23, 2018: The Uppinangady Police have on February 23, Friday traced the  body  of   a man from  Somawarapete  who was reportedly murdered by his own employees.

The deceased is Mahesh, a furniture shop owner. It is alleged that his workers Raghu and Kiran had  smothered him to death at Budoli near  Maani and discarded the body  near the Kempu Hole in Shiradi Ghat area.

The police began to search for Mahesh’s body after the accused surrendered before the Somwarapete police and  revealed the truth. The accused were brought to the spot to identify the exact place where they had dumped the body as a search by the police the previous  night had not yielded result.

Though the accused had stated that a financial dispute was the reason for the murder, there is a suspicion that an illicit  relationship might have culminated in the murder.
