The deceased has been identified as Sadhu Marakala, who was allegedly murdered by his son, Ananda, who had an altercation with him over a trivial issue, they said.
Police said Anand, who worked as a fisherman, attacked his father with a knife after a brief verbal fight on Saturday. Though the injured man was taken to the government hospital in Brahmavar, he succumbed to excessive bleeding.
A police team led by Brahmavar circle inspector P M Divakar visited the spot. Further investigation is on, sources said.
