Karnataka Man Held in Kottur Triple Slaying as Bodies Exhumed From Rented Home

Investigators are exploring a family‑dispute motive pending forensic confirmation.

Overview

  • Police identified the accused as Akshay B J, who allegedly killed his parents Bhimaraj and Jayalakshmi and sister Amrutha at their Kottur rental around January 27.
  • Two days later he filed a missing‑persons case in Bengaluru; contradictions in his account led to detention and a confession, according to officers.
  • After giving conflicting statements about disposal, he admitted burying the bodies inside the house, which was then sealed for examination.
  • The remains were exhumed in the presence of a magistrate and forensic teams, and viscera were sent for laboratory analysis to establish cause of death.
  • Tilak Nagar police have registered a murder case and are probing motive, including a reported family dispute and property angles, while the FIR flags possible involvement of another person.
