WARANGAL: Warangal police on Wednesday solved the mystery surrounding the murder of a vegetable vendor and arrested three persons including a minor. Police seized Rs 2.71 lakh and gold ornaments from the possession of the accused.
The police arrested A Akash Babu and his two accomplices in the murder of Dornam Sharada (38), a resident of Tailors Street in Hanamkonda. Sharada was found murdered at her house on September 3.
Commissioner of Police P Pramod Kumar told reporters that during the probe they found that Sharada was killed by her brother’s son A Akash Babu.
“Akash knew that Sharada was saving a part of her income for her daughter’s wedding, so he hatched a plan to steal the money. He broke into Sharada’s house in the wee hours of September 3 and killed her by hitting her with a stone. He also attacked Akhil, Sharada’s son, who was asleep and stole the cash and gold ornaments from the almirah. Later, Akash met Mekala Machchender of Pochampally in Yadadri district and the minor and sought shelter,” he said.
Based on CCTV footage, police arrested the accused.
