Berhampur, Feb 27: Police on Monday arrested two persons in connection with the murder of a woman and her son at Chudialanji village under Jarada police limits in Ganjam district.
The accused have been identified as G Devendra Reddy and D Gunnama and the victims have been as D Neelabeni and her seven-year-old son D Rushi.
Mohan’s nephew Devendra had illicit relationship with the wife of Mohan’s younger brother’s wife D Gunnama. Neelabeni somehow came to know about their relationship and threatened them to disclose it before family members. As a result, an altercation ensued between Neelabeni and the duo.
Devendra and Gunnama hatched a plot to kill Neelabeni. With the help of Gunnama, Devendra entered the house of Neelabeni and killed by silting her throat. He also killed Neelabeni’s son Rushi as the latter woke up and witnessed the whole incident.
Based on a complaint filed by Neelabeni’s husband Dali Mohan Reddy, police had registered a case in this connection and launched an investigation into the matter.
