Belthangadi, 22 August 2024 — The murder investigation of Balakrishna Badekkillaya, 83, in Belalu village has taken a troubling turn as police have yet to identify any suspects. Badekkillaya was found dead in his home on August 20th between 4:30 PM and 5 PM.
Despite a thorough investigation, the police have not uncovered any significant clues or a clear motive behind the crime. Interestingly, no valuables were stolen from the victim’s home, and his gold ring was left untouched. This suggests that the murder may not have been driven by robbery but rather by a more personal or premeditated motive.
The Belthangadi police, in collaboration with Dharmasthala authorities, have set up a camp at the crime scene to further their investigation. The case has raised concerns about the nature of the crime, with authorities suspecting it to be an act of hatred or personal vendetta.
The investigation remains ongoing as officials work to piece together the details of this perplexing case. The lack of evidence and motive has complicated efforts to determine who may have been behind the murder. The authorities are continuing their efforts to solve the mystery and bring those responsible to justice.
The community remains on edge as the investigation continues, hoping for a resolution to this troubling case.
