It was Matta Reddy, who got Srinivas Reddy and Raghavender Reddy gunned down at Cherlapatelguda in Ibrahimpatnam through hired killers, Rachakonda police said on Thursday.
Announcing a breakthrough in the twin murder reported three days ago on Hyderabad’s outskirts with the arrest of six persons, Commissioner Mahesh Bhagwat said the killers tried to execute the murders on Monday but could not succeed. Matta Reddy, also a realtor, who was one of the first persons to have arrived at the crime scene, ftried to mislead the investigators by feigning innocence.
He admitted that he had disputes with Srinivas Reddy about a real estate venture but repeatedly refuted his possible complicity in the crime even after questioning him several times. “Ultimately, he admitted to his involvement revealing that he got the two shot dead with the help of hired killers,” Mr. Bhagwat said.
