Overview
- Three members of a Bengaluru family were found fatally stabbed in a Seegehalli apartment on Monday night after an argument, and the father later died in hospital.
- The prime accused, Shwetha, was traced and arrested in Puducherry within 24 hours and has been remanded to police custody for sustained interrogation.
- Her live‑in partner Kenneth, who had been sought by multiple special teams, was detained in Puducherry on Thursday night and is expected to be brought to Bengaluru on transit remand.
- Investigators have recovered CCTV footage, a suspected murder knife, a personal diary from the flat and items from a second rented apartment — including a plastic drum, cutter and hammer — that police say point to a planned disposal attempt.
- Police say the probe centers on nearly ₹30 lakh of alleged loans taken using family details and long‑running family tension over the live‑in relationship, and officers will use Kenneth’s questioning and forensic work to fix the timeline and each suspect’s role.
