VISAKHAPATNAM: PM Palem police have solved the mystery behind the death of Koney Satish, who was found dead under suspicious circumstances near NGO Colony in Vizag city on July 13. Satish’s wife, Koney Ramya, and her paramour Shaik Basha have been arrested for the murder.
Ramya, a native of Vizag, had married Satish, a resident of Eluru, in 2015. After the wedding, Ramya left for Dubai, where Satish worked. There, the two had a daughter, Sanwitha.
In August 2019, Ramya, who was pregnant, returned to Vizag with her daughter, where she gave birth to a boy. In February 2021, Satish returned to Vizag.
Ramya claimed that all four family members were out on a walk on the evening of July 13, when Satish suddenly collapsed. On his head were injury marks and an unidentified person hurriedly left the spot, she said. One Sudhakar Reddy, Ramya suspected, may have murdered Satish as the two had financial disputes.
However, investigation has revealed that Ramya and Shaik Basha had been classmates at school and had previously been in a relationship. In 2019, the two reacquainted through a classmates’ WhatsApp group. They started meeting each other when Ramya returned to Vizag.
But unable to meet each other when Satish returned, Basha suggested they run away but Ramya refused.
The two then sent messages and photos to Ramya’s husband to raise suspicion over her fidelity, but Satish did not leave her. Finally, they planned the murder and implicated Sudhakar Reddy. As part of the plan, Basha beat Satish over the head with an iron rod.
