SHIVAMOGGA: A woman and her son were brutally murdered in Sagar taluk on Saturday night. They were stabbed to death with a knife by miscreants. Murderers have left two persons alive including a child.
The victims are Bangaramma, 62, and her son Praveen, 32. They were killed by an unknown gang on Saturday night at Kaskasekodlu village near Keladi in Sagara.
Praveen, working as a mason, was married last year.
He has a 10-months-old baby. Surprisingly, the murderers left his wife and the baby but stabbed him and his mother mercilessly with knives in front of the wife.
“Some people, who had covered their faces with masks, came at midnight and knocked on the door. My husband opened the door. They caught him and stabbed him. They tied my hands and plastered my mouth with plastic sheets. They also stabbed my mother-in-law,” said Praveen’s wife Rohini.
Superintendent of police Shivamogga KM Shantharaju visited the village. Speaking to the media, Gopala Krishna Beluru, former MLA of Sagara, said crime rate is alarmingly rising in Malnad. Administration has failed in Shivamogga, he added.
This is the second double murder in Shivamogga is a month. About 20 days ago, miscreants killed an aged couple in Byakodu village in Sharavathi valley of Sagara taluk.
