When the man was inebriated, the accused pushed him into the water-filled canal a few kilometers away from the village.
Accused couldn't escape with money as neighbors were outside
Thereafter, the accused went to the man's house and killed his wife with a stone. The SP said the accused had also planned to kill the girl after raping her and to flee with the money. However, the accused was compelled to leave after raping the girl but without the money as he heard neighbors' voices outside the house.
