MARGAO: The Cuncolim police on Saturday arrested Jayesh Naik, who is suspected to be the accused in the gruesome murder of his wife Jiya Naik at Fatorpa on Friday.
Acting on a tip off that the accused had gone to his relative’s house at Anjuna, the Cuncolim police led by Ram Asare maintained a close vigil and finally managed to nab Jayesh at the O Coqueiro junction while he was proceeding towards Panjim.
South Goa district police chief Shekhar Prabhduessai told the media this evening that accused Jayesh was arrested when he was coming to Panjim from Anjuna. “We had received information that the accused had relatives at Anjuna and Porvorim and might have gone there after the murder of his wife”, SP Prabhudessai said.
He said the police will produce him before the court of JMFC Margao for remand.
Replying to a question, SP Prabhduessai said that preliminary inquiry has revealed that the accused doubted that his wife was having extra-marital relationship.
