Lovers murdered

A man and a woman were murdered near Vaddingakoppa here on Sunday. The deceased are Revathi (21) and Vijay (22) of Shriram Nagar in Shivamogga.

Revathi got married to a person named Kartik a month ago. But, she was in love with Vijay. She went missing some days ago. Her husband had filed a missing complaint with Jaya Nagar Police Station. The police, who traced her, advised her to return to her husband.
