CLUELESS: K. Venkateswaramma, sister of N. Jayalakshmi, and her husband at Indupalli village in Krishna district. VUYYURU (KRISHNA DISTRICT): There was a sense of disbelief and disquiet among the relatives of Nerusu Lakshminivasa Rao, the Indian software programmer, who mysteriously disappeared from his home in Novi Township in Detroit in the U.S., after his wife and two children were found killed, here on Friday. Novi Town Chief of Police David E. Molloy said in a press release that the officers, after receiving a call from a relative of the family, found Rao’s wife N. Jayalakshmi and her two children Tejasvi (14) and Shivkumar (12) in a pool of blood on the first floor of their residence in Wharton Court, 20 km from Detroit. The release said that Lakshminivasa Rao, who lost his job recently, had caused grievous injuries on the head and neck areas of the victims. Back home in Krishna district, relatives on both sides are unable to believe that Lakshminivasa Rao could have resorted to this ghastly crime. Youngest of the six sons of retired Telugu teacher N. Koteswara Rao, Lakshminivasa Rao hails from Akunuru village near here. He moved to the U.S. some 18 years ago. As news of the tragedy reached here on Deepavali day, Koteswara Rao left for Hyderabad, where his other son lives, and from there reportedly left for Detroit. Lakshminivasa Rao’s brother Sriramachandra Varaprasad, who is headmaster of a government school in Pamidimukkala, said: “My brother could not have committed this crime. As far as we know, he had no financial difficulties. We suspect he must have been kidnapped and killed.” He also pointed out that there could be no strain in marital relations, as Jayalakshmi was Lakshminivasa Rao’s cousin. “My father brought her up from childhood and married her to our brother,” he said. In Jandhyalavari Khandrika, a small hamlet, the native place of Jayalakshmi, her sister Kolusu Venkateswaramma was in a state of shock. “We were just informed by Lakshminivasa Rao’s family that my sister and children were killed. We do not have any details,” she said. “My sister came here occasionally. Her last visit was when our father died in November 2006,” Venkateswaramma said.
