TIRUPATI: Madanapalle double murder accused V Purushotham Naidu and his wife Padmaja, who are said to have used dumbbells and a trident to kill their two young daughters last month, apparently treated the objects to be Lord Shiva’s ‘damruks’ and ‘trishul’. They also believed that their daughters Alekhya and Sai Divya, if ‘sacrificed’ that way, would return back to life in a purer form.
This was disclosed by the girls’ father to Nakka Rajini, the lawyer who is part of senior advocate P V Krishnamachari’s team, who met Purushotham and Padmaja at Madanapalle sub-jail before they were shifted to the mental care hospital in Visakhapatnam. It may be recalled that Krishnamachari was approached by old students of the accused parents, requesting him to provide legal assistance to the couple.
