Montepadavu murder case solved: Konaje police arrest accused after two months
Konaje: Konaje police have cracked the case involving the murder of a woman living alone in Montepadavu, arresting the accused nearly two months after the crime took place.
According to the police, the accused is a labourer from Bihar who had been working locally as a construction worker.
On May 29, the body of a 36-year-old woman named Sundari, originally from Sakleshpur, was discovered in a well near Montepadavu. The body had stones tied to the waist, suggesting an attempt to conceal the crime. Police had initially suspected sexual assault followed by murder.
Sundari had been living alone in a rented house near Montepadavu for the past one and a half years, working as a domestic help in nearby homes. Her murder had posed a serious challenge for investigators.
Following an intensified investigation, Konaje police managed to solve the case and arrest the accused after nearly two months of persistent efforts.
