A quiet village in Telangana's Jangaon district was shattered by an unimaginable tragedy when a 45-year-old man brutally murdered three women from his own family before ending his own life in a chilling murder-suicide case that has left the community in shock.
The Horrific Incident Unfolds
According to police reports, the gruesome incident occurred in the early hours when Boda Sattaiah, a resident of Gundlapalli village, attacked his sleeping family members with a sharp farming sickle. The victims included his 40-year-old wife Boda Laxmi, their 20-year-old daughter Boda Swathi, and his 38-year-old sister-in-law Kattela Laxmi who was visiting at the time.
Neighbors Discover the Carnage
The horrifying scene was discovered by neighbors who grew concerned after noticing unusual silence from the household. What they found was beyond comprehension - three women lying in pools of blood, their bodies bearing multiple deep wounds from the agricultural tool. Sattaiah's body was found nearby, having consumed pesticide to end his life.
Police Investigation Reveals Troubling Background
Local authorities have launched a thorough investigation into the circumstances leading to this family annihilation. Preliminary findings suggest that long-standing family disputes and domestic tensions may have triggered this extreme violent outburst. The farming sickle used in the attack, a common agricultural tool in rural India, became the instrument of destruction in this tragic case.
Community in Mourning
The small village community has been left traumatized by the incident, with residents struggling to comprehend how such violence could erupt in their midst. The victims were described as well-regarded members of the community, making the tragedy even more difficult to process for those who knew the family.
This incident highlights the urgent need for better domestic violence intervention systems and mental health support in rural communities across India, where such tragedies often go unreported until it's too late.
