Bengaluru: In a shocking revelation, a man accused of his father’s murder has told Karnataka police that he got the latter killed as he was healthy and could have lived for 20 more years. That would mean the accused could have got his father’s property only when he becomes old.
The chargesheet in the murder case revealed that the accused’s son got the victim killed as he was healthy.
Landlord Narayana Swamy was killed on February 13 in Marathahalli in Bengaluru. The police investigations revealed the involvement of his son Manikantha and he was arrested.
Manikantha was the only son and when police asked him what was the need to get his father killed, when he could have inherited the property all by himself, the accused said his father Narayana Swamy was fit, and there would be no use of the property when he was past his youth.
Manikantha was jailed in connection with the murder of his first wife. In jail, he got in touch with notorious Naduvatti Shivu gang. When he discussed his plans to get his father killed, Shivu gang members asked him to carry out the murder and told him that they would confess for the crime.
Likewise, Manikantha hired a contract killer Chitti Babu to kill his father. As per the plans, Naduvatti Shivu gang members surrendered to police. But the police rounded up Babu and his associate based on clues from crime scene.
The associate of Babu confessed to the crime, exposing the conspiracy and involvement of Manikantha.
Manikantha also told the police that his father did not give him money for expenses and looked down upon him.
