Mangalore, February 8: Dakshina Kannada District Police have nabbed three siblings, who strangled their relative to death at Thanneerupantha village of Punjalakatte in Belthangady taluk.

The accused have been identified as JM Abdul Azeez (24), his sisters Aseeda (20) and Asfana (19).

Addressing a news conference on Wednesday, Dakshina Kannada District Superintendent of Police Abhishek Goyal said that the trio had murdered Khateejamma (32), wife of Abbas of Alikemane.

The victim had gone missing on January 9, 2012 from her residence in Alikemane of Thannirpantha village in Belthangady taluk. Her husband Abbas had immediately filed a missing complaint with the Punjalakatte police. However, on January 31, 2012, police found a lead with a complaint from Ananda Gowda who complained that some local residents had sensed rotten smell in the forests of Kombaru when they had gone to get firewood. On searching the forest, the local residents had found a corpse in a highly decomposed state.

The police visited the spot and found that the body had been left in the forest about 20 days before January 31. The police suspected that the victim was killed by some miscreants and the dead body was left at Ammaithadka forest of Kombaru, between Gundya-Subramanya road and Puttur taluk to clear off the evidence.

Soon the Superintendent of Police formed three teams to investigate the matter. The DCIB team found that somebody had visited the victim's home in an Omni car on the day she went missing.

Tracing the car, the police found that it belonged to Azeez, brother of Apsana, victim's brother's wife. Though two robbery cases were filed against him by the Sullia Police, he has been avoiding the court procedures.It was learnt that Azeez who had been to Middle East had returned to India four months ago and had now no resources in hand to go back.This made the police suspicious.

On February 7, the police nabbed Azeez in Puttur near Patrao Circle and while questioning, Azeez confessed to have visited Khatijamma on January 9 along with his two sisters and killed her to gain gold and money from her. Azeez has been handed over to police custody while the two women are in judicial custody, informed the SP. The cops who nabbed Azeez have been rewarded with Rs 2,500 each.
