The couple fought over the issue frequently. One day after the fight turned violent, Narayanaswamy decided to get rid of Sowmya. He hatched a plan to kill her and took her to his house in Kottagere. The couple again fought there and as per plan, Narayanaswamy brutally attacked Sowmya with a machete, killing her on the spot.
Narayanaswamy’s father Heeranna intervened telling his son not to attack his daughter-in-law, but he attacked Heeranna too. Later, Narayanaswamy went to Sira police station and surrendered himself. The police have registered a case and are investigating.
