Two arrested for murder at Davorlim

Margao: The Maina Curtorim police on Friday arrested two persons on charges of killing 22-year old Muzahidkhan Kanazhade, a resident of Davorlim , late Thursday night. Ismail Mulla alias Chottu, 23, and Sadique Bellary alias Lolly, 20, also residents of Davorlim, were arrested under Section 302 of the IPC.

While the deceased was a mechanic, Mulla worked as a tile fitter and Bellary as a casual labourer.

Police sources said that the murder was a fallout of a clash between two groups. The deceased alongwith a friend, Mohammed Javed, 22, a vegetable vendor, were sitting together in an open place near Bhagwati colony, Davorlim, late Thursday evening. Bellary, who later joined them, picked up a quarrel with Javed with whom he had some previous enmity. The verbal duel between the two took a violent turn as Javed hit Bellary with an iron rod. Then along came Mulla and stabbed Kanazhade with a knife. Javed was also arrested on assault charges.
