K.R. Puram triple murder: Police seek brain mapping test for accused
Bengaluru police have requested court permission to conduct a brain mapping test on a suspect involved in a triple murder case in K.R. Puram. The investigation centers on a family dispute involving the victims' daughter and her boyfriend.
Why it matters
The use of forensic psychological tests like brain mapping in criminal investigations remains a subject of legal and ethical debate regarding self-incrimination.
Bengaluru police have sought permission from a local court to conduct a brain mapping test on an accused in the K.R. Puram triple murder case.
Kenneth, one of the accused in the case involving the murder of three members of a family residing in Seegehalli in K.R. Puram, is likely to undergo the brain mapping test if the court grants permission.
Somasundar, 55, his wife Muthulakshmi, 48, and their younger daughter Supriya, 20, were allegedly murdered at their apartment on June 22. Subsequent investigations revealed that Somasundar’s elder daughter, Shwetha, and her boyfriend Mr. Kenneth allegedly murdered the trio after the family objected to their relationship.
Ms. Shwetha and Mr. Kenneth were arrested from Puducherry on separate occasions. Police have recorded their statements, and the duo are currently in judicial custody.
