Man murdered in Belagavi: Police probe reveals complainant wife, paramour to be behind crime
Belagavi: In a major turn to the investigation of the murder a man in Gadikoppa village of Khanapur taluk recently, the police team has found that the wife who filed a complaint in the matter had gotten her paramour to murder her husband.
Khanapur Police have arrested Shaila Patil, wife of the deceased Shivanagowda Patil (45), and her lover Rudrappa Hosetti, both of whom have been sent to judicial custody.
While Patil was found dead in the village on Thursday, a day after his wife had left for her parents’ home, the police have cited empty liquor bottles as the first lead they got. Patil seemed to have consumed alcohol with an associate, they have said, and added that the post-mortem test report too has proven that Patil had been under the influence of alcohol when he was murdered.
The probe team, while checking the call records in the deceased man’s phone, found that the last call he had made was to Hosetti. On taking Hosetti into custody, the Khanapur Police found that he had called Shaila often, and also held WhatsApp video calls with her. When they questioned Shaila, the police officers found that she had been in a relationship with Hosetti and her husband had recently discovered this. As Patil had warned her strictly against continuing the relationship, Shaila to decide to get him eliminated, the officers added.
On Thursday, Shaila shared information of her husband’s movements with Hosetti, who is learned to have murdered Patil when they were having drinks. He also called Shaila later and informed her of Patil’s death, the police officers have said.
