The neighbours informed the police that for the last three days the family members were performing some pujas at home. On Sunday night, after the completion of puja, the parents first killed their elder daughter in the puja room itself, by stuffing her mouth with a copper tumbler and later smashed her head with a dumb-bell, using for exercise.
Later, they stabbed repeatedly their younger daughter with a spear at her room in the first floor after brought her to her room from ground floor.
Father Purushotham Naidu had assisted his wife in the murders.
The reason exactly was not known as to why Naidu himself called one of his lecturers in the college and informed him about the murders which they did and the lecturer immediately informed the police.
DSP Manoharachary along with CI Srinivasulu and other staff rushed to the house and took the parents into custody.
In their questioning, police learnt that the motive behind the murders was only the strong belief at superstitions led parents to this brutal act. The parents also informed the police that their daughters would come alive soon.
