PATHANAMTHITTA: A receptionist of a resort in Kozhencherry was stabbed to death. The dead has been identified as Dinsha (20) of Kulathupuzha. She was murdered Tuesday afternoon at the Maramaon Resort in Kozhencherry. The police have taken her friend Jithu of Keezhukara into custody. Reports say love failure is the cause of the murder. It has only been two weeks since Dinsha started working at the resort.

Police said the motive behind the enmity was Dinsha backing out of the relationship. The accused arrived there with the intention to kill her. Shouting that she had betrayed him, Jithu stabbed Dinsha in the neck multiple times.

He attacked her after talking to her for around ten minutes. It is reported that the accused purchased the knife via online. Although the local residents rushed to the spot and took Dinsha to the hospital, her life could not be saved.
