In a stunning incident, three youngsters entered a house and murdered a mother and a child in this town on Tuesday. While they both died on the spot, the condition of the father is serious.
Locals caught and thrashed the attackers and handed them over to the police. Intiaz, Vamsi Krishna and Murali Majoj Kumar – the three accused are now being questioned by the police.
Of the three, two are students, while the other is a wage earner.
Dinakara Kumar is principal of a pharmacy college in Prakasham district. His wife Sakuntala and daughter Bhargavi, an MBBS student were alone in the house when these three entered the house and tried to drug them. When the mother and daughter resisted, they stabbed them indiscriminately. When Dinakar Reddy came back at the time of attack, he was also stabbed by the maniacs. Locals came rushing in the mean time and caught them. After thrashing the three, they handed them over to the police. It is learnt that Intiaz was working as a carpenter in the house. Police said they suspect that this could be an attempt to rob the family. There is also another version that there could be an angle to the ghastly incident.
Locals obstructed the police when they were taking the accused in their jeep. They demanded that the three accused be shot dead on the spot. It is learnt that there were five assailants and two of them had escaped. (NSS)
