Police on Monday recovered two sickles, allegedly used by the killers in lawyer couple murder case, from the waters of Sundilla-Parvati barrage of Kaleshwaram project in Manthani mandal.

Earlier, two of the four accused held in the twin murders case admitted to interrogators that they had thrown the sickles used by them in the barrage after executing the couple.
