Udupi, Aug 31: Sandesh Kulal and Sowmyashree were in love with each other for eight long years and understood each other well. They did not have any insurmountable problem before them. Still, both died in close succession perhaps due to the stubborn attitude of the youth.
It is gathered that both their families had given their consent for their marriage. But, the youth had cited certain reasons and wanted the wedding to be postponed. Sowmyashree's father, in the meantime, suffered cardiac arrest. He had been hospitalized and was discharged from the hospital a few days back. Worried over the uncertainty of life, he had expressed his desire to see his daughter's marriage before something happens to him.

As the youth was not prepared for early marriage and was delaying it, the girl reportedly decided to look for alternative alliances to meet her father's wishes. Sources say that the youth had agreed to this proposal during the talks in the police station.
On the fateful day of the incident, Sandesh had met Sowmyashree near Ashirwad petrol station where the two talked for long. During the course of the discussions, tempers rose, it is said.
Later, the youth drew out a knife, and attacked the girl with it before turning the knife on himself.
