Later the accused asked the trader to give lift on his bike to meet a friend at Edurugadda village in Laxmidevipalli mandal. On reaching an isolated spot at Chippamuthulingam Colony near the village Pasha beat Sudhakar to death and fled away with gold jewellery on his body.

Police took up an investigation into the case based on a complaint by the brother of the deceased and caught the accused while he was pawning the stolen jewellery to get cash. The accused confessed to his crime, the DSP said.
