Mangaluru: Two youth were murdered in two separate incidents at Ullal and Surathkal late on Friday night.

City Police Commissioner Dr P S Harsha said miscreants had hacked to death one Sudarshan C H (22), a resident of Puthige in Kasargod district, near Railway track at Kapikad in Thokkottu, on the outskirts of the city.

It is suspected that history sheeter D K Rakshith and his accomplices had committed the crime due to personal rivalry between the accused and the deceased.

Based on the complaint filed by Sudarshan’s father Ananda Sharma, the police have registered a case.

‘Teams formed’

The commissioner said that three teams had been formed to trace the culprits.

In another incident, a drunken brawl ended in the murder of one Sandesh, a resident of Guddekopla at Surathkal.

Sandesh was stabbed to death by Raja alias Raghavendra, Ganesh and Suhail, whom the police arrested on Saturday.
