A 60-year-old man, who was arrested in connection with a murder case, today allegedly committed suicide at the Atchutapuram police station in the district.

The deceased Ramunaidu was suspected to be the prime accused in the murder of a 30-year-old man on April 3.

" Ramunaidu, a daily wage worker, was arrested along with two others last evening, police said.

Sub-Inspector B Deena Bandhu said Ramunaidu went to the bathroom around 5.30 am and didn't return.

Constable G Harikrishna, who went to check, found him hanging from the hook of the bathroom door by a coir rope.

Though Ramunaidu was rushed to a private hospital, he was declared brought dead. """

Suspecting that he may not secure bail, Ramunaidu might have taken his life, the SI said.

 

The police officer said there was no angle of police torture in the case, adding, all the accused had confessed to the crime.
