A man allegedly killed three persons within a span of five days —between May 5 and 10— at Narasaraopet town, the district headquarter of Palandu district, just for a meagre ₹660.
The deceased include a woman beggar and two men daily wagers. All of them were homeless and used to sleep on the streets. These three murders sent a shock wave to the people.
The culprit allegedly smashed the heads of the victims who were asleep with cement bricks and collected ₹40, ₹120 and ₹500 from them respectively. Police describe the incidents as murder for gain, saying that the modus operandi of all three murders are almost similar.
