The Vidyaranyapura police on Saturday arrested a 31-year-old private firm employee and his associate for allegedly murdering a 68-year-old home-alone retired teacher to rob her gold valuables last Thursday.
The accused T. Nagendra was working in a private company and staying in a rented house opposite to the house of the victim, while his associate K. Ramaraju, a native of Annammaiah district in A.P., was unemployed.
According to the police, Nagendra noticed that the victim S. Prasanna Kumari, 68, a retired teacher, was living alone in a rented house at Ambabhavani Layout in Vidyaranyapura. She used to wear gold jewels whenever she would go out to visit her relatives and friends.
