BANGALORE OCT. 25. Two youths were found murdered on Kyalarasanahalli tank bund in Bannerghatta police station limits on the outskirts of the city on Friday.

The police suspect that the youths, who were business partners, may have been hacked to death on Thursday night. They gave the names of the deceased as Vikas (19) of Tavarekere and Manjunath (22) of Madivala. The assailants had attacked them with choppers and swords, the police said.

On Friday afternoon, Jayakumar, a farmer who was walking on the tank bund, noticed the bodies, the police said.

The Additional Superintendent of Police (Bangalore Rural), B.S. Marthurkar, said that the motive behind the murder was yet to be established.

Passers-by noticed the body on Friday and informed the police. The Madivala police have taken up a case of murder. The police suspect that Hanumantha was killed due to old rivalry.
