New Delhi: Police have arrested three women in Andhra Pradesh’s Tenali for the murders of four people who were killed in a sort of honey trap. They were given cyanide-spiked drinks after being befriended. The women reportedly robbed the victims after killing them.
The suspects, Gulra Ramanamma (60), Madiyala Venkateshwari (32), and Munagappa Rajini (40), were taken into custody by the police on Thursday.
According to authorities, the accused identified victims who had money or gold jewellery. The modus operandi was to make friends with them, and then offer them beverages laced with cyanide. Shortly after drinking the spiked beverages, the victims would die, and the accused would take their possessions and run away, Business Today reported.
The police also detained a man who supplied them with cyanide. According to Guntur Superintendent of Police Satish Kumar, the women admitted to their crime and were taken into custody under the appropriate Bharatiya Nyay Sanhita (BNS) sections.
