The couple recently rented the room, and both worked in a factory nearby.
Neighbours told the police that a woman friend of the deceased was also staying with the couple for some days but left a week ago for some work.

The body was sent to JJ Hospital for postmortem.
A team of police officials are tracking the accused and willsoon arrest him.
