The investigations into the cold-blooded murder in Benaulim by the Colva police have revealed that the murder of the tile fitter was planned six months back by his wife and her boyfriend from Belagavi.
The Colva police have further said that the plan to kill the victim was successfully executed by the wife as Vishwanath Sidnal was done to death inside their rented room on the eve of Holi.
Colva police station in-charge, PI Satish Padwalkar, informed that the wife’s boyfriend, Suraj Myageri, came to the residence of Vishwanath on the pretext of taking up a painting contract. Police said Suraj came to the house under the pretext of taking a reference of Vishwanath to bag a painting contract since he was a tile fitter and a contractor.
“The six-month plan to kill the victim was executed successfully by the wife of Vishwanath, Mangala alias Vaibhavi, and accused Suraj Myageri,” he said.
While the woman has been remanded to seven days of police custody, the boyfriend is remanded to nine days of police custody from Thursday. The Colva police cracked the murder case by arresting both the accused within 24 hours.
PI Satish informed that the absconding accused Myageri was traced through a surveillance act at Kadoli, Belagavi and brought to Goa late Wednesday evening and placed under arrest.
The Colva Police have recovered the scooter of the deceased which was used by the two accused to flee from the scene of offence after committing the murder. The two-wheeler was attached from Belagavi along with other incriminating evidence. PI Satish informed the police are on the job to collect evidence in the case.
Meanwhile, the post-mortem examination has stated that Vishwanath died due to Craniocerebral damage as a result of the impact of the blunt force of an object.
