Meerpet cops gathering crucial evidence to ensure conviction of accused

Hyderabad:Meerpet police are strengthening their case against Gurumurthy, the prime suspect in the brutal killing of his wife, by collecting critical forensic and technical evidence.

Despite attempts by the accused to dispose of the victim’s body to avoid detection, law enforcement agencies are piecing together all facts and clues.

It was originally registered as a missing case. Following Gurumurthy’s confession, the police are now working to alter the case to a full-fledged murder case with solid evidence against the accused.

Recognising the crucial role that forensic evidence plays in murder investigations, the police have focused on collecting digital footprints and physical evidence from the crime scene.

With the involvement of the Clues team, they were able to collect blood drops, hair fragments, and human tissue from various locations that are believed to be linked to the crime. The crucial samples have since been sent to Truth Labs for forensic analysis.

A senior police official confirmed that the collected evidence will be key in nailing the accused. Authorities are working to finalize the charges to ensure a strong case that will stand up in court and lead to conviction.
