The Rachakonda Police and the CLUES team have used the Blue Star technology to work in the case. This technology detects blood stains even after washing or rubbing objects. It allows the detection of minute, erased or thoroughly washed blood traces, with or without detergent, even at very high dilutions.

Though the suspect Guru Murthy confessed having killed his wife Madhavi, chopped the body into pieces before boiling them and disposing, hours of searching the spot by the cops did not yield any result. There was no evidence found, and reportedly not even a trace of blood stain was detected so far.

It is learnt that some clues were obtained and cops are planning to collect samples from the couple’s children to match it with the DNA samples from the crime spot with the help of forensic science analysis.
