Bengaluru: 31-year-old man hides under cot for six hours to kill his wife's lover

In a shocking incident reported from Bengaluru's Byadarahalli, a 31-year-old man concealed himself under a cot for over six hours prior to murdering his wife’s paramour. The accused, identified as Bharath Kumar, a carpenter, has been taken into police custody.

The accused had united in wedlock with Vinutha eight year ago and had two kids. The victim, identified as Shivraj, was a friend of Bharath's wife and had come to pay her a visit in search of a job three years ago.

Not long ago, Shivraj professed his love for Vinutha. She turned down his proposal at that time but later agreed. But, Bharath Kumar soon got to know about his wife's illicit relationship with Shivaraj and opposed. He then resolved to murder Shivaraj for sabotaging his married life.

Few days ago, the accused got into Vinutha's house at 9 pm and concealed himself under the cot. It was around 10.30 pm Shivaraj came to her place and they went to sleep after dinner. When Vinutha went to the washroom at around 3 pm, Bharath locked her from outside and stabbed Shivaraj.

According to Police, the accused would be brought before the court and sent to judicial custody on Friday. "The accused has confessed to the murder and his medical test is being done," police officer said.
