Udupi (PTI): A 28-year-old man, who stabbed his former lover to death before slitting his throat with the same knife at Santhekatte in Udupi district, died at a hospital early on Tuesday, police sources said.
The woman hailing from Kakkunje, who suffered serious injuries in the attack by the man, died late on Monday, failing to respond to treatment.
