A fresh murder of a reported from Ananthapuram district in Andhra Pradesh on Friday morning has raised suspicion of the possible involvement of a man behind an attack on a woman in a Bangalore ATM on the morning of November 19 and the murder of a woman in the Ananthapuram district on November 10. A 34-year-old woman,Boya Lalitha,was brutally murdered in Guttur village near Penukonda in Ananthapuram district in Andhra Pradesh on Friday morning. She was murdered at around 8.30 am.
The local police said the assailant fled after robbing a gold chain and mobile phone. Police hope to track down the phone and nab the killer.
The Penukonda police and as well more than 40 members of the Karnataka police team rushed to the crime scene at Guttur village after they were notified about the incident. They suspect the murderer was the same man who attacked Jyothi Uday,44,in the Corporation Bank ATM kiosk.
The modus and the time match. The suspect also murdered a woman near Dharmavaram in Andhra Pradesh on November 10, a police officer said. We have come to know that he is roaming the villages near Penukonda, another officer said.
Police said the accused may be psychotic after they analysed CCTV footage of the Bangalore ATM and the Kadiri ATM where he withdrew money. After murdering a woman Prameelamma in Ananthapur the suspect was caught withdrawing cash from an ATM. The police have surmised from the ATM footage following the November 10 murder that the suspect was the same as the man who attacked Jyothi Uday on November 19. The suspect did not know how to use the ATM. He waited for two minutes and finally he withdrew the money with the help of another person, a police officer said.
Meanwhile,Jyothi Uday was moved from the ICU of BGS Hospital to the ward on Thursday. Her doctors said she is recovering and may be discharged within a week. Her paralysis is not as severe as we initially thought. She has started to move her limbs on both sides and should be well in about three months time, neuro surgeon Dr Venkataramana N K of the BGS Hospital said. I am improving. I am feeling better. Thank you for your wishes, Jyothi Uday,who was presented before the media by the hospital,said in a brief statement on Friday.
