Padiami suffered serious injuries in the attack and died on the spot.

Kabasi had lost his father on Sunday and his brother a month ago under mysterious circumstances.

“Following the death of two persons in the family, Kabasi suspected that Padiami was practising sorcery to harm his loved ones. He visited Padiami’s house in the morning and hit his head with a sharp weapon,” said a police official in Malkangiri.

Kabasi was arrested soon after the murder.
