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.”
