Puttur, Sep 26: In what may probably the third case of murder rocking the twin districts in less than 24 hours, a couple hailing from Kerala were found dead at Kodimbala near Kadaba here on Wednesday September 26.

The deceased have been identified as Baby Thomas (58) and his wife Mary from Thamarassery.

The couple has been staying in Undila at Kodimbala more than a year.

Kadaba police arrived at the spot with canine squad and forensic experts.

On the outset, it seemed that it was a case of theft, though the exact motive for the murder has not yet been ascertained.

Thomas had married Mary after his first wife passed away a year ago. He had two sons and a daughter from his first marriage. While the daughter stays in Bangalore, one of the sons is in Dubai.

Mary too had married earlier and her first husband, from whom she had two children, passed away two years ago.

This is the third suspected case of murder rocking the twin districts in less than 24 hours. On Tuesday September 25 evening, the president of Ganeshotsava committee Ganesh Ram Suvarna was found murdered in his residence, and in Kundapur, a man was found hanging by a tree under mysterious circumstances.
