Hameed, the husband of a murder victim and father of their child, who were killed in Panjimogaru back in 2011, became the target of an attempted stabbing and murder. The incident unfolded at a rented house near the Ullal Municipal Council office on Saturday, April 6. Hameed, originally from Panjimogaru but currently residing at the rented house, sustained severe injuries from the stabbing and has been admitted to a private hospital in Mangaluru.
The accused in the attack is suspected to be Javed, a well-known swimmer residing in the Mangaluru port area. Allegedly, a dispute over money matters precipitated the attack. Ullal police have initiated a manhunt for the accused.
The murders of the mother, Razia (32), and the child, Fathima Zuha (7), had garnered widespread attention in the district and across the state. It may be recalled that they were fatally stabbed in broad daylight near their home in Panjimogaru near Kavoor on June 28, 2011.
