Udupi, Dec 17: An extra-marital affair between a married driver and a widow ended with the man stabbing her to death before committing suicide at Padubidri here.
Police sources said that Naveen resorted to the extreme step after Tara's parents refused his marriage proposal and warned him against continuing affair with their daughter.
On Tuesday night Naveen took Tara to a deserted building near Corporation Bank at Padubidri and stabbed and strangled her to death. He then hanged himself in front of the dead body of Tara, sources said.
Police said that Naveen, a tempo driver and Tara, an employee in a supermarket, fell in love with each other after their marriages ended.
Tara's husband died while Naveen separated from his wife. The father and mother of two kids used to frequently meet each other and had reportedly decided to lead a life together, source said.
However, a few days ago Tara's parents turned down Naveen's proposal and asked him not to interfere in her life again. This prompted Naveen to hatch a murder plan, it is said.
Padubidri circle inspector SP Rajendra Prasad and other police officers visited the spot on Wednesday.
