HYDERABAD: The KPHB police have arrested three people, including a woman, in a gruesome murder case that unfolded in Hyderabad. The victim, Boini Sailu, was allegedly killed by his wife and two of her close relatives in what investigators describe as a premeditated family conspiracy.
According to police, Sailu’s wife, Boini Kavitha (29), held a longstanding grudge against him, accusing him of humiliating her whenever she returned to their village to visit their children. Their strained relationship reached a breaking point recently when Sailu decided to marry off their daughter to his sister’s son—reportedly without consulting Kavitha. When she questioned the decision, Sailu reacted harshly and warned her to stay out of family matters.
That confrontation became the trigger. Kavitha, with help from her brother-in-law Sadhula Mallesh (40) and sister Sadhula Jyothi (27), allegedly plotted Sailu’s murder. The plan involved luring him to Hyderabad under the guise of helping with their daughter’s marriage expenses. Once there, he was taken to Mallesh’s house and given alcohol. After he passed out, the group reportedly attached an electric wire to a switchboard and connected it to a binding wire placed on his body. When they turned on the power, Sailu was jolted awake.
As he struggled, police say Kavitha pressed down on his neck and genitals, while Jyothi pinned his legs. He died from the assault.
The trio attempted to dispose of the body by stuffing it into a large blue bag and hiring an auto to transport it toward Jogipet. However, the auto driver became suspicious and returned to the pickup point. Eventually, the accused buried the body in an isolated area.
What the Police Found:
- A Vivo phone used by Kavitha to contact the auto driver
- An iQOO phone used by Jyothi before and after the crime
All three accused have been taken into custody. The case was cracked by the KPHB police, led by ACP K. Srinivasa Rao and Inspector S. Rajashekar Reddy. Officers involved in the investigation are expected to be commended for their efforts.
The case has raised fresh concerns about domestic violence and the deadly consequences of long-standing family conflicts left unresolved.
