Mangaluru, Aug 19: More details have emerged of the shocking murder of Blossom Lobo (31), allegedly at the hands of her husband William Lobo on the night of Friday August 18.
William Lobo (35) was arrested after he allegedly killed his wife at their residence at Kottara Chowki. The police had stated that William committed the act as he suspected her of having an 'illicit affair'.
However, her relatives and neighbours who came to the mortuary on Saturday August 19 refuted the claims of affair.
William and Blossom, both natives of Siddapur in Madikeri, were living in a rented house at Kottara Chowki here. While William is a driver with Uber, Blossom worked in a private company. The couple was blessed with a son, who is now four years old.
Blossom was the daughter of the late Felix and Maria Lobo.
Neighbours told daijiworld that the couple did not mingle much with them, and would visit their native place twice every month.
Neighbours said that they came to know about the murder only on Saturday morning.
"Blossom was a lady with a good character and there were no signs of her illicit relationship. When she went to work, she would leave her son in a baby sitting centre," a neighbour said.
A friend of Blossom said, "The allegation of illicit affair is completely baseless. I have never see her talking to anybody or having any male friendship."
Blossom's sister Sharol too echoed the same and said there was no marital discord either. "I have have never seen the couple quarrel. They would visit our house in Siddapur twice or thrice a month. Their marriage was arranged."
The body has been kept in the mortuary and the post-mortem will be done once her relatives arrive from Madikeri. So far, only her sister has come from Bengaluru.
The mortal remains will be taken to Siddapur and the final rites will be held on Sunday August 20.
