Bangalore: Spurned Lover Kills Colleague, Commits Suicide
DHNS
Bangalore, Oct 23: A young man allegedly stabbed his lover to death, before killing himself at HBR Layout, Subhash Nagar, in KG Halli police limits on Tuesday night. He was upset that his lover had entered into a marriage alliance with another boy, the police said.
The deceased have been identified as Geetha (24), resident of HBR Layout and Shakir Hussein (24), a resident of Govindanagar. Geetha hailed from Hosadurga in Chitradurga district, while Hussein was from Guntkal in Andhra Pradesh.
Both were colleagues in the Bajaj Allianz insurance company at Shanthinagar.
Became friends
Around 18 months back, the two met. Hussein helped Geetha in getting a job at his office and very soon both became close friends and the relationship is said to have turned romantic.
Hussein would often visit Geetha’s house. However, her mother, Koteshwari, was under the impression that both of them were just friends and colleagues. Geetha became cautious after her mother decided to search for an alliance. She started keeping distance from Hussein and started telling him that she just considered him as her brother.
Things turned sour after Geetha’s alliance was finalised with a boy a couple of months ago. However, Hussein kept pressurising her to marry him which Geetha rejected. Hussein thought that Geetha cheated him and decided to eliminate her.
On the ill-fated day, around 10 pm Hussein came to Geetha’s house fully prepared to execute his plan. He watched television for about 10 minutes and Geetha was inside her room at that time. He told Koteshwari that it was getting late for him and would speak to Geetha before leaving.
He went inside the room, locked it from inside and started discussing something with her. Once again, he pleaded her to marry him and Geetha rejected his proposal.
Slit throat
He took out a knife and slit her throat and attacked her right hand and left thigh. Geetha collapsed in a pool of blood and died within seconds. After realising Geetha was no more, Hussein slit his throat and died.
Soon after, Koteshwari and a few neighbours broke open the door only to see the two dead bodies. A post mortem was conducted on Wednesday at Victoria Hospital and bodies were handed over to the family members. Geetha’s body was cremated at Hosadurga, while the funeral of Hussein was held at Guntkal.
