Jilted lover arrested for killing woman's husband in KPHB Colony

Hyderabad: A 27-year-old man was arrested on Thursday, May 15, for stabbing to death the husband of his lover in Hyderabad’s KPHB colony. Four others were earlier arrested on May 13.

According to police, the accused, P Ayyappa Swamy, hailing from Andhra Pradesh, was in love with a woman and intended to marry her, but was rejected by her mother.

The mother then arranged the woman’s marriage with 32-year-old Kalla Ventaka Ramana. Upon knowing, Ayyappa Swamy went into depression and many times expressed his desire to kill Ramana.

Ayyapa Swamy hatched a plan with his associates and other accused named in the case – 20-year-old G Shiva Rama Krishna, 19-year-old Rajamahendravarapu, 20-year-old N Sai Kumar and a minor.
