Residents of Kothapalli of Jammikunta municipality, both Shivaramakrishna and Santhosh were relatives and worked as painters.

According to the police, Santhosh, who was staying alone after his wife left him, was having an affair with Shivaramakrishna’s sister. Last month, the two eloped, following which Shivaramakrishna and his parents lodged a missing complaint with police on October 24.

The couple returned a few days later and the issue was settled in the panchayat, after which the complaint was withdrawn. However, Shivaramakrishna decided to eliminate Santhosh, and attacked him last night.
