Police Saturday arrested a 40-year-old man who allegedly killed his wife using a screwdriver on September 22.
The accused, identified as Kantharaju B R, is a resident of Health Layout in Annapoorneshwari Nagar and a realtor by profession. Kantharaju got married to Roopa H G 10 years ago and the couple has a seven-year-old son.
On September 22, around 6:30 pm, Kantharaju called Roopa’s parents and asked them to come to his home. Around 7:30 pm when they arrived, they saw Roopa lying in a pool of blood. Although Kanatharaju had hanged the body to make it look like suicide, the plan failed.
Upon inquiry, it was revealed that Roopa and Kantharaju had picked up a fight around 4:30 pm and had closed the door of their room. Around 5:30 pm, Kantharaju left the house.
