Around 4.30 p.m., Sai Prasad followed her into the bathroom and attacked her with a knife, which he had brought with him, as she refused to marry him.
“After an hour, when he got a call from his sister, he informed her of the murder and told her that he too wanted to end his life. She then alerted the resort management,” the DCP said.
