Panaji, Jun 10: The police detained Sagar Naik (50) in a suspected case for his brother's death in their house at Vaddi Wada, Kundaim in Ponda.
When Sagar's wife returned home from work in the evening, she found her brother-in-law Prabhakar, 41, in a pool of blood. She then called 108 ambulance and the medical staff declared him dead.
The police team led by DySP Nelson Albuquerque rushed to the spot and detained Sagar. "Sagar had sent his three children out in the evening and Prabhakar's body was found with his face smashed. The weapon used in the murder has not been found," police said.
Earlier, Sagar was convicted for his elder brother's murder in 2012 and was released in 2016, Albuquerque said. Further investigation is in progress.
