The murder of a Dubai returnee, allegedly committed by his cousin’s paramour on Friday, came to light on Sunday night, when Golconda police recovered his body from a stormwater drain near Deccan Park.
A missing case was reported by parents of Mohammed Ali alias Sohail on Friday night and police questioned a few suspects, including accused Fareed Khan, who confessed to killing Sohail and throwing his body in a nala near Deccan Park, Golconda inspector T Komaraiah said.
He said the assailant stoned Sohail to death when the latter took exception to the former’s relationship with his 27-year-old cousin, a mother of three.

“The victim was also trying to develop an ‘illicit’ relationship with his cousin, following which Fareed killed Sohail,” Mr. Komaraiah said.
