The couple had recently arrived in Goa from Bengaluru with the intention of getting married. However, according to police sources, a dispute arose between them for unknown reasons, which escalated into the fatal attack. After committing the crime, Sanjay allegedly fled back to Bengaluru.
Police suspect the murder was the result of a relationship dispute, and Kevin was arrested and questioned within 24 hours of the crime being discovered. The swift police action led to his capture before he could evade justice.
