Bengaluru: The Subramanyapura police on Thursday arrested Satish Kumar, 35, who was on the run after killing his two children at his house in Beereshwaranagar in Subramanyapura on Wednesday morning.
The police stated that Satish, a plumber by profession, was arrested near Chunchunakatte after few people informed them about a person moving suspiciously with blood soaked clothes. A team of police rushed to the spot and arrested him.
Satish was taken into custody and interrogated, where he reportedly confessed to the crime. He told the police that the previous night he had a fight with his wife Jyothi over a trivial issue of switching off the stove as she had gone out.
Satish in his drunken stupor forgot to switch off the stove and the dish got charred, which led to the quarrel. Soon Sathish started beating his wife, after which she along with her two sons left for her mother’s house nearby.
On Wednesday morning, around 10, Sathish went to the school and brought his two sons home. He bludgeoned the elder son Shiva Shankar and strangled his younger son Aditya, the police said after which he fled.
He also told the police that his wife Jyothi kept on reminding him that she will divorce him if he continues with his drinking habit, the police added.
