Kasargod: A man was arrested by Chendera Police on Monday October 21, for allegedly murdering his mistress and then burying her in a coconut farm.
The accused has been identified as 40-year-old Satish, a resident of Neeleshwara Kanchar who had an extra-marital affair with 32-year-old Rajani.
Rajani worked in a private nursing home, which was co-owned by Satish at Chervathoor.
According to the police Rajani was missing since September 5. It has been revealed that Sathish and Rajani were in love. Rajani was forcing Sathish to get married, but Sathish was already married with two children. Hence he did not agree to marry Rajani. Due to this a clash erupted between both.
Sathish then killed Rajani by strangulation and after confirming her death, carried her dead body in his car and buried it in Kanchar coconut farm, said the officials.
On Sunday when the foul smell erupted from the pit, the police were informed. Rajani’s dead body was found in coconut farm pit, which is apparently near Sathish’s residence. A team headed by DYSP Harischandra Nayak took out the mortal remains from the pit.
Police who came to the spot started to investigate the case and when Sathish was subjected to inquiry, the truth came out; they have also confiscated his Omni car.
