Bengaluru Triple Murder: Bengaluru man walks into police station with blood-stained machete after killing wife, daughter and niece | Bengaluru News – Times of India

BENGALURU: Peenya police were in for a shock when a man carrying a blood-stained machete walked into their station around 5.15pm Wednesday, saying he had murdered his wife, child and his sister-in-law’s daughter.
Gangaraju, 40, working as a home guard with Hebbagodi police station in Bengaluru Urban district, was taken into a room and questioned by senior police officers. A team, meanwhile, rushed to his two-bedroom house in Chokkasandra, Jalahalli, and found the bodies of three women, bearing multiple injuries and slit throats.
The victims were identified as Gangaraju’s homemaker-wife, Bhagya, 38, daughter Navya, 19, and daughter of Bhagya’s sister, Hemavati, 23. Navya was a first-year degree student at a private college, while Hemavati, a divorcee, lived with Gangaraju’s family and worked in a private firm. The family is from Nelamangala and lived in the rented house for the last six years.
In his confession statement to police, Gangaraju said he strongly suspected Bhagya of infidelity, and the couple frequently fought over the issue. “This (Wednesday) afternoon, in a fit of rage, I attacked her with the machete. The two girls tried to stop me and cursed me, saying I was the one at fault. Whenever I’d question Bhagya over her affair, the two girls would support her. I couldn’t tolerate this anymore and attacked them with the same machete,” Gangaraju said.
After confirming the three women were dead, Gangaraju called the police control room and said he wanted to surrender. Additional commissioner of police (west) Vikash Kumar Vikash said the accused killed the three women over family-related issues and personal fights.
