Bangalore:
Three men have been arrested for the murder of a family that lived in Ramamurthy Nagar, an expensive colony in Bangalore.
Rahul Das, an interior designer, his wife and eight-year-old daughter were discovered dead in their own house on Friday, October 23. Their house had not been broken into, which suggested that whoever murdered the family was not a stranger.
In fact, if the police is right, it was a former employee of Rahul Das' who's responsible. On Wednesday, the Bangalore police arrested Lokesh, who worked for Das, along with two other men. "Investigation has revealed that Lokesh, who was earlier employed with Rahul Das, conspired along with two others to commit this murder for gain. We have recovered 2. 5 lakhs of jewellery and three mobile phones," states Shankar Bidari of the Bangalore Police
The police say that when Rahul was murdered, he was alone at home. The murderers were still in the house when Rahul's wife and daughter returned from the child's tuition class. The bodies were only found three days later when family members could not reach them on the phone.
While Rahul was found hanging upside down, his head in a bucket of water, his wife and child were found dead in the bathtub.
