Andhra women serial killers: In a shocking development, Guntur police in Andhra Pradesh have arrested three serial killers for murdering four women. The three accused women have been identified as M Rajani (40), M Venkateswari (32) and Rajani’s mother G Ramanamma (60).
Guntur Superintendent of Police (SP) Satish Kumar said that two months ago an unidentified woman was found dead in a field in Chebrolu under suspicious circumstances. The police registered a case and formed two special teams and started investigation. During the investigation, the deceased was identified as Shek Nagoor B of Tenali town.
After analysing mobile data and questioning several witnesses, including an auto driver named Mahesh, the police unraveled the gruesome plot. Investigation revealed that the accused lured the victim to the outskirts of Vadlamudi on June 5 on the pretext of a friendly walk and made her drink a cold drink laced with cyanide and alcohol. She died instantly and then the trio fled after stealing her gold jewellery and money.
The auto driver confirmed that he had picked up the accused women and the victim in his auto. He said that he had also seen them buying liquor, which proved fatal for Nagoor B. The police then arrested the three.
Robbed by feeding cyanide
During police interrogation, the accused confessed that they had killed Nagurbi by giving her liquor laced with cyanide and stole her gold jewellery and money.
To make easy money, the three women befriended other women, gained their confidence and lured them to deserted areas where they would make them drink cyanide-laced soft drinks, kill them and steal their gold jewellery.
The prime accused M Rajani had been working as a volunteer for over four years and was also involved in cyber crimes in Cambodia. She, along with her mother, killed her mother-in-law Subbalakshmi for property in 2022 and Tenali resident Nagamma (60) in August 2023 to avoid paying debts. She, along with a woman named Bhudevi, killed Bhudevi’s husband Moshe for his property. They also attempted to kill three other women in separate incidents, but were unsuccessful.
Police said that after the investigation is completed, they will know if more murders have been committed. These three women viciously targeted strangers including different families and neighbors. They are believed to have been involved in many murders since 2022.
Police said the accused had bought the cyanide for Rs 4,000 on two occasions from a man named Krishna, who works at a gold shop in Tenali. Krishna is absconding.
