When three members of a Bengaluru family were found dead inside their apartment, the city was shaken — and this week, police actions in Puducherry have brought the case to a critical turning point.

🚔 Triple Murder Suspect Kenneth Taken Into Custody in Puducherry

The accused in the Bengaluru triple murder case, identified as Kenneth, was taken into custody in Puducherry following a multi-agency effort to track his movements. His arrest comes after his partner Shwetha was already detained in connection with the killings of three of her family members. Authorities had been investigating the case since the bodies were discovered at a home in the KR Pura police station limits. The custody of Kenneth marks a significant development in what has become one of Bengaluru's most closely watched criminal cases in recent weeks. [3]

Kenneth, 25, was arrested near Puducherry Beach on June 25 with the assistance of local police, after Bengaluru investigators traced his movements using information obtained during the interrogation of his live-in partner Shwetha.
