Mangaluru, Sept 28: A 26-year-old brutally murdered a woman for turning down his wedding proposal, and then committed suicide by hanging himself under the limits of Moodbidri police station in Dakshina Kannada district today.

The victim is Charishma (22), a resident of Saldanha Compound at Pranthya village in Moodbidri. The accused is Lohith (26), a resident of Muger in Bajal in Mangaluru.

Charishma was residing with her elder brother and mother in a rented house and was alone at the time of the incident. 

Lohith, trespassing into the house, allegedly stabbed her in the neck and hit her head with a hammer, the police said.

As the woman raised an alarm, neighbours rushed to her house, following which Lohith entered another room and hanged himself to death, the police said.

Though the woman was immediately rushed to a hospital, she breathed her last on the way, the police said.

It is said that the assailant was a distant relative of the victim, who was a dance artiste, and had proposed to marry her. 

While the woman rejected the proposal, her mother, Champavathi, who works in a government office at Karkala, had reportedly told him that she would consider his marriage proposal for her daughter later. 

Enraged with Charishma’s refusal, Lohith committed the offence by entering her house from the backyard, the police said.

Moodbidri Police, who have registered cases, are investigating. MLA Umanath Kotian, Deputy Commissioner of Police (Crime and Traffic) Uma Prashanth and other officers visited the spot.

Bengaluru, Jul 22: On Wednesday morning starlet and Bigg Boss 3 contestant Jayashree Ramaiah sent social media into a tizzy with an update that read, “I quit. Goodbye to this f*****g world and depression.” Friends and acquaintances immediately began reaching out to the actor asking her to return their concerned calls and desist from taking any extreme steps.

“Jayashree has been battling depression for a while now. She had family issues and was also concerned about the lack of work,” shares actor Ashvithi Shetty. The Ramachari twins were in touch with Jayashree since they met at a celebrity cricket match four years ago. “She has shared several times about how low she’s been and I would try to cheer her up. But the problem was that she’d keep changing her phone number so often that it became difficult to keep track of how she was doing,” states Ashvithi.

Around four months ago, Jayashree moved into her own home and mentioned to her that she was happy with this new development in her life. “But she went retreated again and a few days ago, I messaged her on social media and she said she was doing fine. So I was shocked to see this update on Wednesday morning,” avers the actor. Repeated calls finally elicited a message from Jayashree that she was getting admitted to the hospital. “But I also got contradictory information that she had been discharged and had been taken to the hospital again but she was refusing to go inside. I am awaiting more clarity on the issue,” sums up Ashvithi.
