Puttur, Jan 17: A 23-year-old girl was stabbed to death allegedly by her spurned lover on January 17.
Jayashree (23), daughter of Girija, a resident of Mundoor here was staying at home after passing her B Sc degree. Girija had gone out to her farm at about 11 am on January 17.
Meanwhile, Jayashree who was at home came running to Girija screaming at about 11.30 am. There was a cut on her stomach and blood was oozing from the wound.
Girija rushed Jayashree in an auto rickshaw to Puttur Government Hospital. The doctor examined her at about 12.15 pm and said that Jayashree had died.
Kanakamajalu resident Umesh was in love with Jayashree for some time and used to visit the house of Girija every now and then. However as Jayashree was not liking Umesh's character of late days, she had distanced from him since November 2022.
An identified person allegedly entered the house of Girija at about 11.30 am on January 17, 2023 when Girija was away and stabbed Jayashree to death. It is suspected that Umesh may have murdered her.
A case under registration No. 07/2023 IPS section 448 and 302 is registered in this connection at Puttur rural police station on the basis of a complaint lodged by Girija.
