Bengaluru man killed after asking another to send wife for sex

BENGALURU: A 43-year-old man who was found dead near his house in Jayanagar I Block, south Bengaluru, last week was allegedly killed by a neighbour after he asked the latter to send his wife to him for engaging in sex, Siddapura police said.
Suresh, 45, a resident of KM Colony, has been arrested for the murder of his neighbour Manikanta. Both worked as daily-wage labourers. The arrest followed a complaint filed by Manikanta's sister, who suspected Suresh's involvement in the murder.
According to police, Suresh and Manikanta stayed on the same street but did not know each other. On the morning of March 8, Suresh came to Manikanta's house and told his mother to take his son - who he said was sleeping near his house - home. Manikanta had been drinking non-stop for three days earlier. The woman immediately brought her son home.
However, when Manikanta's sister arrived, she saw her brother bleeding from the nose. Later that midnight, he was rushed to Victoria Hospital, but doctors declared him brought dead. On Thursday, his sister filed the complaint. "During the autopsy, it was found that Manikanta had died of internal injuries. There were injuries on his scalp and haemorrhage in the skull," a cop said.
When police examined CCTV footage from the area, they found Suresh dragging Manikanta's body on the road. They picked him up for questioning and he confessed. He told police that he and Manikanta had got drunk on March 7 and were chatting on the street. They later entered Suresh's house and Manikanta asked him to send his wife to engage in sex, police quoted Suresh as saying.
In a fit of rage, Suresh allegedly hit Manikanta on the head using a wooden log, following which he fell unconscious. Later, Suresh threw Manikanta outside to make it appear like he was sleeping.
