Kasaragod: The local police have arrested an accused in connection with the murder of a jeweller which took place on January 25. The accused had first murdered the jeweller and later thrown his body into well in a deserted area.

Abdul Salam (30), a resident of Kanyana Karopady Mittanadka is the accused.

The accused had murdered Mansur Ali (50), a resident of Chettunguli of Vidyanagar and thrown his body in a well in a deserted area near Paivalike Bayaru. Another accused in the case, Ashraf is absconding.

Police managed to crack the case within a week after the murder on January 25. They kept a close watch on the movements of accused who had left for Thokkottu after the crime and was staying in Ullal surroundings in Karnataka. On getting information of his arrival at his Uppala residence, police succeeded in nabbing the accused.

Mansur and Abdul Salam came in contact a year ago when the former had gone to release the gold pledged in a finance company. At the same time, Abdul Salam had taken cash by giving 12 grams of gold to Mansur and carried out similar transactions on four more occasions.

Abdul Salam kept his friend Ashraf informed of his deals with Mansur. Auto driver Ashraf and Abdul Salam together hatched a plot to cheat jeweller Mansur.

They informed Mansur ostensibly, of availability of 280 grams of gold for sale and asked him to reach Bayaru for the same. On arrival, the accused took Mansur in an Omni van to Chakkareguli near Muligadde. There they sprayed chilli powder on his face and then hit his head using an iron road. After confirming his death, the accused dropped Mansur’s body in an open well and escaped with the bag containing cash.
