Chennai: The prime suspect in the murder case of Infosys employee Swathi reportedly broke down during questioning and expressed regret over killing her. On the last day of custodial interrogation of Ramkumar, the prime suspect in the case, confessed to Additional Commissioner of Police (south) K. Shankar at Nungambakkam Police station and said, “I’ve made a huge mistake. I shouldn’t have killed her. I loved her so much…”
“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 told DC.

Another official observed that the City Police have claimed to 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,” he said.
