Third man arrested over brutal murder of Indian origin couple in UK

London, Jan 17 (ANI): A third man has been arrested in connection with the brutal murder of an Indian-origin couple in Birmingham.

British police is now questioning the 37-year-old over the murder of Avtar Kolar, 62, and his wife Carole, 58, whose bodies were discovered on Wednesday by their son Jason Kolar, a serving officer with West Midlands Police.

Earlier, two people were arrested. One man was bailed pending further enquiries, the second man was released without charge, The Sun reports.

Post-mortem tests have confirmed that the couple, who had been married for 40 years, died as a result of blunt force trauma to the head and that both had been struck a number of times.

The arrests came after two of the couple's four children made a desperate plea for help to catch their parents' killers.

Police have repeatedly refused to speculate about a motive for the murders, but said detectives are looking into a number of lines of inquiry, including a rise in burglaries and gold thefts in the area. (ANI)
