Mangalore, February 23: In a tragic incident, a woman was killed by her paramour at Kuthumotte in Ubaradka Mithur on Monday late night.
Police arrested Karunakara Patali (39), who allegedly hit Arunashri (39) on her head with a wooden stick. It was said that the duo was living together for the last seven years.
Patali was an alcoholic and was quarreling with Arunashri quite often besides torturing her physically. It is also said that he was suspecting her chastity.
It is said that Arunashri was the daughter of Ganapayya Gowda of Sonangeri and was married to Kallapalli Arun Kumar.
She later had an affair with Karunakara, who was running a travel agency, and after divorce with Arun Kumar, was living with him. Karunakara was too a divorcee. It is also learnt that though the court had asked Karunakara to pay for his first wife and child, he was not paying it.
He was also involved in the sale of tiger pelt. There were several cases against him, police said.
It is said that Arunashri's child from her first marriage was staying with the couple and the second child from Karunakara, Charishma, is a LKG student. Arunashri was reportedly pregnant, when she pressurised Karunkara to marry her. However, it is learnt that he had lied to her that he has not got the divorce from his first marriage.
It is said that Karunakara suspected her and fought with her daily and that he had assaulted her couple of months ago after which she had to be taken to the hospital. On Monday night, when he realised that she had died, he tried to project it as a suicide case by removing all the blood stains.
