A man stabbed his mother's live-in partner to death at Medipally in Hyderabad on Sunday. According to the ABP Desam report, Kola Venkata Ramana Murthy, 47, who worked at an old age home as a caretaker in Peerzadiguda and resided at Medipally, had eloped with Dhanalakshmi about 14 years back.

Through Facebook, Dhanalakshmi's son, Srikanth Reddy, 26, tracked her down and found that she was residing in Hyderabad. Srikanth found her last month and brought her with him to their hometown, Telaprolu, in Andhra Pradesh's Krishna district.

Murthy, on the other hand, is said to have been calling Dhanalaskhmi and pressuring her to return to the city. On Sunday, Srikanth arrived in Hyderabad and went to Murthy's home in Medipally.

Police claim that after they consumed liquor, an inebriated Srikanth attacked Murthy on the head with a gas cylinder before stabbing him with a knife. After receiving information, the police reached the spot and shifted the body to Gandhi Hospital for a post-mortem. A case has been filed.

In another incident, a man was hacked to death by three unidentified persons in broad daylight on the Jiyaguda bypass road in Hyderabad on Sunday. According to the ABP Desam report, the assailants, armed with machetes and sickles, chased the victim and attacked him on the Jiyaguda bypass road near Puranapul under the limits of Kulsumpura police station.

Some passersby captured the murder on their cell phones. The video has gone viral on social media. The attackers can be seen attacking the victim indiscriminately while he is lying on the ground. While several on the other side of the road fled in terror, some people recorded it on their smartphones.

After killing the victim, the assailants escaped by jumping into the adjacent Musi River.
