Chennai: Ramkumar, the suspect in the Infosys employee Swathi's murder, had reportedly broken down on Friday during interrogation and repented murdering the girl who did not reciprocate his mad love for her. The final day of Ramkumar's custodial interrogation was held at the heavily guarded Nungambakkam Police station when he reportedly confessed to the crime.
“I've made a huge mistake. I shouldn't have killed her. I loved her so much . . .”
Ramkumar told Additional Commissioner of Police (south) K. Shankar, during the last day of the custodial interrogation at the heavily guarded Nungambakkam Police station, according to sources.
"Ramkumar said he was embroiled in a dilemma whether or not to attack her before he resolved to go after her. He threw the weapon with his fingerprints on it and went to his room where he had a sound sleep until late afternoon before he left for his native place. He had narrated as to how he did the act too. We have recorded the same as his statement. It appears the verbal abuse triggered his fit of rage, which culminated in the murder,” a police official privy to the investigation told DC.
Putting all speculations to rest, the City Police claimed that they have gathered all the necessary evidences required to prove Ramkumar's guilt. "Swathi's phone, which her assailant took away, was found in his possession and he had downloaded her images to his phone from her phone's memory card. A shirt with bloodstains was recovered and DNA analysis proved the blood is that of Swathi and a formal report is awaited. Fingerprints lifted from the sickle matched those of Ramkumar. Tower dump data is also accounted for," another official observed.
