Newly married woman raped and murdered
BANGALORE: A 24-year-old software engineer was found raped and murdered in an apartment in BTM Layout II Stage on Monday evening. Mico Layout police said her throat was slit with a knife. The deceased has been identified as Malarvelli from Tirunelveli.
Police suspect the incident occurred around 4.30pm and 5 pm. There were no signs of forced entry into the apartment which possibly indicate that the victim knew the assailant.
Joint commissioner of police (crime) Alok Kumar said Malarvelli was married to Balasubramanyam, a software engineer with Capgemini company, in August. She was working with TVS company as a software engineer before the wedding, after which she quit her job. They moved into the apartment only in September.
The incident came to light when Malarvelli's cousin tried calling her and learnt that her cellphone was switched off. Worried, her cousin rushed to her house and found her murdered.
Police said they have found certain clues that point a finger at an old acquaintance of Malarvelli. They said the assailant will be nabbed soon.
DGP (south-east) BNS Reddy said a grilled door guarded the main door, hence a forced entry would have been impossible. They also found that Malarvelli had not only let in the assailant, but had also offered juice to the person. The assailant had also brought her a gift, which strengthens teh police suspicion that the assailant was well acquainted with the victim.
