KAKINADA: Musunuru police have issued a look out notice for Devarapalli Ravindra alias Ravi, an accused in a murder case.

According to Nuziveedu Rural circle inspector Ankababu, Songu Jesu Mariyamma, (33) of Katrenipadu village in Musunuru mandal of Nuziveedu mandal in Eluru district, had married a person 16 years ago. After she gave birth to a baby, named Akhila, her husband deserted her.

Thereafter, Mariyamma developed a live-in relationship with a mechanic Devarapalli Ravindra, belonging to Eluru but residing in Chatrai village. On Friday midnight, Ravindra killed Mariyamma with a crowbar. When her daughter Akhila woke up, Ravindra strangled her too to death. He then locked the house and fled from the spot.

On Saturday, Mariyamma’s brother called her number but got response. The same night, he reached Mariyamma’s house but found it locked. When he saw an open window, he peeped through it. He saw his sister and her daughter in a pool of blood. He immediately informed Musunuru police who registered a case.
