The Rajkanika police arrested a woman and her paramour for killing her husband in Bhamanda village under Rajkanika police station limits.
The duo arrested persons have been identified as Ratnamani Dash and her paramour Asit Satapathy.
The duo arrestees were on Sunday produced before the local court, from where they were remanded in jail custody after their bail pleas were rejected.
Rangadhar Dash of Bhamanda village, who was a priest of local Nrusighanath temple, had gone missing on August 17 after a quarrel between him and his wife Ratnamani over extramarital affair of the woman with a fellow village youth. The family members came across the mutilated decomposed body of Rangadhar a few days later and alleged that Rangadhar was killed by Ratnamani and Asit .
Rangadhar’s brother Gangadhar had lodged an FIR that the former was forcibly taken away by Ratnamani with the help of Asit. Ratnamani and Asit fled from the village while the funeral of Rangadhar was going on. Later, the duo married at Jajpur, informed police sources.
