Mangaluru, May 15: Two days after a woman was found in the city, the Mangaluru police have cracked the case and arrested a couple.

The body parts of Srimathi Shetty, a resident of Amar Alva Road in near Monkey Stand, was found inside a gunny bag near a shop off National Highway 66 near Kadri Park in the city on Sunday.

On Tuesday, the police arrested Johnas Julin Samson (36) and his wife Victoria Mathais (46), natives of Attavar and residents of Souterpet, Valencia, Mangaluru. Johnas was running a fast food shop in a Nandigudda.

The police also seized a two-wheeler, which was used to transport the chopped body parts, and eight golden rings and a golden chain belonging to the victim from the accused.

The police said that Johnas had committed the murder on Saturday while his wife allegedly supported him. It is learnt that Johnas had borrowed a sum of around a lakh from Srimathi Shetty.

When Shrimathi Shetty went to his house to recover the dues, amounting to Rs 60,000, on Saturday morning, Johnas attacked her with a lethal weapon and murdered her.

The body was kept in the house the entire day. It was then mutilated and disposed off in different parts of the city. The police had recovered the body parts from near Kadri Park and from Nandigudda.

The city police commissioner had formed a 30-member-team for investigation after a case of murder was registered at Mangaluru East Police station.

When a team of police surrounded him, Johnas made a futile attempt to commit suicide. However, he was arrested and admitted to a hospital for treatment.

Inspector Jagadish, PSI CCB Kabbal Raj, ACP Hegde and staff members of CCB, Crime, Pandeshwar, Kankanady and central sub-division were involved in the investigations.

Bengaluru, May 29: Chief Minister B S Yediyurappa and BJP State President Nalin Kumar Kateel will resolve any differences of opinion among party leaders in Karnataka, according to Minister of State for Railways Suresh Angadi

If anybody has any issues, they should get them resolved by talking with Yediyurappa and Kateel. Internal matters, if any, should not be discussed in public, he said.

Angadi told reporters here on Friday that differences of opinion among party leaders have not come to his notice. A section of party leaders assembling for dinner should not be constituted as a meeting of dissidents. BJP has internal democracy and any differences of opinion if exist will be resolved at the party forum.

He added that if MLA Umesh Katti has any issues regarding cabinet berth or regarding assurances given to him by Yediyurappa during the Lok Sabha elections, he should talk with the chief minister.

Everyone in politics has aspirations and it's natural. Those aspiring for the upcoming Rajya Sabha elections should talk with the chief minister or the state president, he said.

Ramesh Katti was former MP and there was nothing wrong in him being aspirant for Rajya Sabha elections, he said.

Angadi said, "Party is supreme. We shall work for the victory of party candidates irrespective of who they were".

A state cabinet meeting was held on Thursday. Many of the MLAs too had been to Bengaluru for constituency-related works. As they had been meeting after a long time, all gathered for dinner, he expressed.
