A couple, who run a fast-food centre at Devarakonda village in Nalgonda along with their son, murdered an elderly woman Annasuryamma over payment of Rs.1300.
They buried the woman’s body behind the shop after taking her gold chain. Sixty-seven-year-old Annasuryamma resides alone in Haliya in the district.
She used to sell rice to the fast-food centre run by Ch Ramulu and his wife Dhanalaxmi and son Gouri on Devarakonda main
road.
Two days ago, Annasuryamma left the house on receiving a call from Ramulu over paying Rs.1,300 dues for selling the rice.
Around 7.45 am, she entered the fast-food centre and since then did not return. Ramulu killed her by attacking her with a knife used for cutting vegetables.
He along with his wife and son later took 20 grams of gold chain from her neck and buried her body in the open area behind the shop, Haliya Circle Inspector D Satish Reddy said.
