Reality Show Helps Close Murder Case

July 01, 2012 posted by Steve Brownstein

A casual remark made by a teenager during a reality show on television led to the detection of a gruesome triple murder, committed in 2008 in Villuppuram district, police sources.

M. Bhargavi, 17, who was speaking on a Tamil television programme about how parents objected to love marriages, said that her father was opposed to such relationships and had murdered a man, his daughter and her boyfriend. He buried the bodies near her house in M. Kuchipalayam village.

After the programme was telecast on May 20, a woman lodged a complaint with the Villuppuram police stating that her husband and daughter were missing since 2008.
