Bangalore, 28 October 2011: Two brothers, a software engineer and a mechanical engineer, dreamt of making their sister a scientist and got her enrolled in one of the best colleges in the city. And when a young lad had a crush on her, they beat him to death. 

 

K Manjunath, K Selva Kumar and their relative R Raju allegedly beat up K Deepak (18) in Bangalore’s Islampur, near Srirampura, after they found that he had fallen in love with their sister. The airport police arrested the trio on Thursday. 

 

The police said the three assaulted Deepak inside a building under construction near their home, on Wednesday afternoon. "They smashed his head against the wall, which proved fatal," a police officer said. 

 

On Wednesday, Selva Kumar and Manjunath spotted Deepak near their house, and asked him what he was doing. "The accused claim they had warned him. Deepak had also agreed not to meet Sowmya again. Selva Kumar and Manjunath were enraged to see Deepak hanging around their house," the officer said.
