Andhra couple still believes killed daughters will resurrect

Madanapalle (Andhra Pradesh), Jan 27 : The excessively superstitious couple from Andhra Pradesh, who recently killed their two adult daughters in Madanapalle in Chittoor district, still believes that their daughters will come back to life.
The couple, V. Purushotam Naidu, a lecturer at the government women’s degree college, and his wife V. Padmaja, a mathematics teacher, responded to police queries in a relatively sane manner on Wednesday, barring chants about Lord Shiva in between.
“They are chanting about Lord Shiva, saying ‘Om Namashivayya’. Not delusional. If the sub-jail authorities feel that they are abnormal, they can send a letter to the magistrate. They can obtain the permission and send them for psychiatric treatment or for medical examination,” a police officer told IANS on Wednesday.
However, he said the two were responding properly to the questions, but lacing their answers with Lord Shiva chants. Currently, both of them are lodged in the Madanapalle sub-jail.
Following the sensational double murder, the police are busy probing the case and are gathering information from the neighbours.
“We are examining the neighbours, family friends and relatives. We are also analysing CCTV footages. As per the information we have so far, only four persons were present in the house when the incident took place,” the officer said.
