BENGALURU: A 21-year-old youth stabbed his 19-year-old friend to death in her house before hanging himself from the ceiling of the same house on Thursday evening.
The girl, D Sinchana, 19, was from Nisarga Layout in Jigani. She was the only child of Doddaiah who owned a hardware shop in Harapanahalli, Anekal. The accused was Kishore Kumar, driver with a godown in Anekal.
Sinchana’s family told police she was first-year student at a private college on Bannerghatta Road. The tragedy came to light when Doddaiah and his wife returned home late evening and found their daughter with her throat slit and Kishore hanging from the ceiling fan. No suicide note was found. “Textbooks and a few notes were found near Sinchana’s body, indicating she was studying at that time,” an investigating officer said.
