Police mull narco-test for Bangalore woman serial killer

He said Mallika, 43, is turning out to be a tough nut to crack as she was not forthcoming to reveal more even though she admitted to killing six by administering cyanide.

Deputy Commissioner of Police Sharat Chandra, however, said, 8220;we have to ascertain whether these three missing cases were the handiwork of Mallika.8221;

8220;As per her own admission, she committed the first murder in 1999 and the next five later. However, she appears to be willing to reveal only part of her criminal past,8221; he said.

8220;We had asked the public to come forward and give us any information in case they had encountered her or were one of the targets of her criminal activities,8221; he said.

8220;The accused has only revealed six murders and has not been forthcoming and cooperative in revealing more details, hence we might have to subject her to a narco analysis,8221; Chandra said.

8220;We expect to conduct the narco analysis in the next two three days after obtaining permission of the court concerned and the availability of dates by the Forensic Science Lab,8221; Umesh said.
