Moodbidri, August 2: In a tragic love story, a frustrated lover has committed suicide after stabbing his girlfriend for rejecting his love at Umaldottu in Borugudde near here on Tuesday.
The youth has been identified as Vishwanath (30), son of Devadas Poojary, resident of Bajpe Kolambe, who had supposedly been in an affair with Mamatha Jathe (22) daughter of Sundar Poojary from Borugudde, from the last three years.
It is learnt that the duo had even decided to get married. However, recently, Mamatha all of a sudden ceased to return his love.
A furious Vishwanath walked into Mamatha's home and confronted her on Tuesday noon. Though Mamatha's sister and another girl were also present in the house, they did not find anything amiss since he often kept visiting there. When Mamatha did not heed his words, he pulled out a hidden knife, stabbed her in the abdomen and fled from the spot.
Family members got Mamatha admitted to the Government Hospital in Karkala, and filed a complaint against Vishwanath at Moodbidri Police Station.
Vishwanath was later found hanging from a tree in the nearby forest. The incident came to light on Wednesday morning. It is being investigated.
