Heavy security at the victims’ village in Manthani on Thursday
HYDERABAD: Advocate couple, Gattu Vaman Rao and Nagamani, were followed by the assailants’ henchman for nearly three hours before they were hacked to death in Peddapalli district on Wednesday afternoon. “This clearly shows that it was a pre-determined murder,” Ramagundam police commissioner V Satyanarayana told TOI even as three of the accused were arrested on Thursday. Among those nabbed was Kunta Srinivas, local TRS leader and alleged mastermind of the murders.
“The killers used a car with a temporary registration number. They also acquired hunting sickles to commit the crime,” inspector general of police Y Nagi Reddy said. “The conspiracy was well-planned and executed.”
The couple was returning to Peddapalli from Manthani when they were attacked.
HYDERABAD: Nearly three hours of recee was done by the accused before executing the sensational murder of two advocates Gattu Vamana Rao and his wife Nagamani in Peddapalli district on Wednesday.
The man who conducted recee made four telephone calls to the prime accused Kunta Srinu, who is now found to be an ex-Maoist, by constantly updating about the couple’s movements.
During the investigation done by Ramagudam police, they came to know that the couple at 8.30am on Wednesday had breakfast in Siddipet district. At 12.30pm they reached Manthani in Peddapalli, where they met Vamana Rao’s brother Gattu Indrasekhar Rao at a local court.
