HYDERABAD: A 46-year-old man was found murdered inside an abandoned car in Hayathnagar on Saturday. A street vendor who saw the body inside the car alerted the Hayathnagar police, following which the police rushed to the spot.
It is suspected that the victim’s wife and brother are behind the murder. Hayathnagar police said that the victim, a lorry driver, died after he was allegedly attacked on the head and his throat was slit with a sharp-edged weapon. Based on the Call Data Records (CDR) of the victim and CCTV footage, police came in touch with a lorry owner, who provided the details about the victim’s family.
The family later identified the victim. Police said the victim was last seen in the company of his brother. During investigation, police found out that the victim had suspected his wife of having a relationship with his brother.
