Bangalore: Triple Murder Case Solved, Driver, Two Others Arrested
Bangalore, Oct 29 (PTI): The sensational triple murder case of a family here has been solved with the arrest of three persons including the driver of the victim and recovery of stolen valuables, police said today.
City Police Commissioner Shankar Bidari told reporters the main accused Lokesh (24) and his two accomplices, Murali (20) and Bhaskar alias Raja (35) were nabbed yesterday and gold ornaments worth Rs 2.5 lakh, cash Rs 11,000 and four mobile phones recovered from them.
The gang had allegedly murdered interior decorator Rahul Das (45), his wife Pushpa Latha (40) and daughter Agneesha (9) on Oct 20.
The police described Lokesh as a movie buff who was inspired to murder Das by drowning him. On the fateful day, he came with his associates and first murdered Das. As little Agnesha was a witness, she was killed next. This led to a heated exchange of words between Lokeshwar and Pushpa, leading to her murder also.
