. Police said after killing his daughter

Ramulamma

and her lover Pullaiah, the father-son duo dumped their bodies in a lake near the fields on the outskirts of the village.

Rayudu

had earlier warned his youngest daughter against having any relationship with Pullaiah, who hails from the same village. However, the girl defied her father and married Pullaiah last week. Incensed over this, Rayudu hatched a plan to eliminate them.

With the help of his son, he killed his daughter and Pullaiah and later dumped their bodies in the village tank. When villagers grew suspicious, Rayudu told them that Ramulamma had run away with Pullaiah from the village. However, Pullaiah's brothers suspected foul play and filed a complaint with the cops. During interrogation, Rayudu confessed to his crime.

A marginal farmer, he has two daughters and three sons. All his children were married except Ramulamma and Parasuram.

A case has been registered against Rayudu and his son.
