A bank deposit slip found at the murder spot helped the Madiwala police arrest a 23-year-old cook who allegedly killed his room-mate on Thursday for refusing his demand for sexual favours.
The accused has been identified as M.R. Devaraj, a resident of Venkatapura who was working as a cook in a restaurant at HSR Layout. The police said the deceased, Channe Gowda, was also working in the same restaurant.
According to the police, Devaraj got angry when Channe Gowda refused his demand for sexual favours on Thursday.
