Telugu bidda Raghunandan Yandamuri should have slashed his wrist and killed himself like the Dewey Beach murderer Pawan Kumar Anjaiah (a Kannadiga hailing from the South Indian state of Karnataka), who committed suicide in June 2012 as the police were closing in on him.
Now 26-year-old Raghunandan Yandamuri’s life has turned into a hellish nightmare, and it will be that way for the rest of his life.
Yandamuri was arrested Thursday for the murder of an elderly Indian lady Satyavathi Venna and her young grandchild Saanvi Venna.
Police are charging Raghunandan on multiple counts – Murder of the First Degree, Murder of the Second Degree, Kidnapping, Burglary, Robbery, Theft By Unlawful Taking and Abuse of Corpse.
Going by his name, Raghunandan Yandamuri appears to be a Telugu, a language spoken mostly by residents of the South Indian state of Andhra Pradesh.
Raghunandan Yandamuri
Too Dumb Not to Kill Himself
U.S. media reports say that King of Prussia, PA resident Raghunandan Yandamuri has already confessed to the police of kidnapping and killing 10-month-old Saanvi Venna and murdering the child’s grandmother Satyavathi Venna.
Satyavathi Venna was found murdered on Monday and her granddaughter Saanvi Venna missing. The elderly woman was murdered with a knife as she resisted the abduction of her granddaughter.
After extensive search, the 10-month-old baby was found hidden beneath a bench in an unused basement sauna in the Marquis apartment complex where both Raghunandan and his victims lived.
What Chutzpah
It seems, Raghunandan, a family friend of Saanvi’s parents, actively participated in the search efforts to find Saanvi Venna, posted “missing child” posters, distributed fliers and even attended a vigil.
After killing the two and robbing the apartment of jewelry, Raghunandan had sought a ransom of $50,000 from Saanvi’s parents Siva Venna and Latha Punnuru (both software engineers).
“It’s up to you to decide, do you want your 1-year-old or five months of your income?” Raghunandan’s ransom note said.
What tipped off the police that the killer was a person known to the family was the use of words “Siva” and Lata” in the ransom note. Siva’s full name is Venkata Konda Siva Venna, and his wife’s name Chenchu Latha Punuru.
The police started tracking the people known to the Venna family and ultimately zeroed in on Raghunandan Yandamuri.
Saanvi Venna: Life Cut Short
Yandamuri – Death Penalty Likely
Yandamuri has been arrested and will likely face the death penalty as this is a particularly gruesome crime that also involved kidnapping for ransom.
Even if he escapes the death penalty, Raghunandan will find life in prison hellishly miserable considering child molesters and child murderers have it badly from other inmates.
Unless Raghunandan Yandamuri is kept in isolation from the general population in prison he’s likely to suffer brutal attacks from other inmates soon.
It’s hard, almost impossible, to understand why Yandamuri didn’t turn the knife on himself.
Raghunandan Yandamuri is married and his wife is pregnant.
Telugu Invasion
Over the last decade or so, there’s been a massive Telugu influx into the U.S., many with fraudulent documents.
A lot of them have come here as software engineers but with the economy turning south and the competition intensifying, many Telugus have now turned to the restaurant business, hoping Dum Biryani would be their passport to riches.
Alas, the Dum Biryani business has also become crowded and can only lift so many Telugu boats.
Given that there are few opportunities these days even for Americans, it’s hard to imagine what this large group of Telugus can do other than resort to crime.

I would consider even death penalty as lenient for a gruesome crime like this.

Before he gets the lethal injection, the other inmates would have carved him up.

I’ve only seen/heard such things in the movies. Does this happen for real?
If it does, then we don’t need to worry about giving him a suitable punishment. The inmates will take care of it.

1. Prison is a nasty, brutal environment with many criminals sentenced to life without parole.
Since they have nothing to live for, a lot of ‘lifers’ will do anything.
2. Prison Rape in the U.S. is not as uncommon as we’d like to believe.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prison_rape_in_the_United_States
3. A lot of prisons in the U.S. have been privatized and run by companies that are listed on the New York Stock Exchange. No kidding!
Since the only goal of private prisons is to maximize profits, they’re likely to make the minimal investments they can get away with.
4. Bottom line, prison ‘life’ here, like anywhere else, is Hell.
Our Telugu bidda will not last long if he’s thrown in with the general population.
Still i cant believe that he is such a dump guy to do this?.
Looks like very old Telugu movies type kidnapping and murder.
Being in such advanced country, how dare to do this kind of silly thing. Or he forgot that he is in USA and living India. So that he can come out easily by influence.
I thought that these guys don’t know only computor programming.
It seems that they don’t have brain at all.
Because of this brainless idiot, two lives gone.
His wife is pregnant and he is going to be father soon.
How can he do with that kid Saanvi?

You write: Looks like very old Telugu movies type kidnapping and murder.
Sweetie, even in present-day Telugu movies they engage in kidnapping, murder etc. 😉
In the recent Telugu blockbuster hit Eega, the villain kidnaps the nice guy and murders him.
Guys,
Please point out the guy individually not the Telugu community.
I agree, he is a culprit and he should be hanged for this, but Telugu community doesn’t teach him the crime.
There are other incidents also where Indian people involved in crime, we treated him as a Indian but not a regional fellow.
Someone said above, Telugu people show fake documents and fly USA.
Telugu people may fake in the experience but not in their degree.
Telugu people at least have valid degree, but there are lot of other regions from India flew here doesn’t even have a valid degree.
And god knows what they do here.
The person who wrote above doesn’t know who comes USA illigally? who does illegal business here?
The person who talks about the Telugu restaurants, doesn’t he know who brings the girls and ladies to US and do a brothel business?
If restaurant business is an illegal business, why there are lot of other Indian restaurants here? Do you agree other restaurant owners are also illegal immigrants?
If because of the Telugu people American’s lost their jobs, then why Americans are not killing Telugu people?
Why they are killing people than telugu. Go to the news and read which region killed mostly by Americans, if u don’t have enough knowledge.
The funny thing is, one gentlemen wrote above only Telugu movies have kidnap scenes.
Do u think none of the ballywood movie has Kidnapping? and no movie involved with crime?
Telugu community is not the biggest community in US.
Telugu community doesn’t run gas stations, motels and other road side bussiness where most of the crime involves.
Telugu people stick to s/w jobs, and no American file unemployment because of us.
Most of the US unemployments are non IT people who lost their jobs because of the non educated illegal Indians who works for $6 or $7/hours.
If you are human being, then talk about the incident and person involved with the incident. But don’t lose your manner to talk further about his community. We are all Indians and be as an Indian… JAI HIND..

Sweetie, no, I don’t have that information.
But given that I’ve dedicated my life to the pursuit of knowledge, I would like to be enlightened on which Indian community specializes in the brothel business in the U.S. so that people may consider me well-informed!
2. You write: Go to the news and read which region killed mostly by Americans, if u don’t have enough knowledge.
Again, I confess my ignorance here. All these years, I thought America was mostly a law-abiding society.
And here you’re telling me that Americans go around, killing one section of the Indian community.
Pray, share your wisdom with the rest of us not endowed with your level of higher knowledge and consciousness.
3. You write: Telugu community doesn’t run gas stations, motels and other road side bussiness where most of the crime involves.
I am sure you are not referring to the Gujaratis and Punjabis.
A person of your wisdom wouldn’t stoop to such levels.
4. You write: Telugu people may fake in the experience but not in their degree. Telugu people at least have valid degree, but there are lot of other regions from India flew here doesn’t even have a valid degree. And god knows what they do here.
You think God in his infinite wisdom would share what your “non-Telugu” people do in America with us mere mortals if we go down on bended knees?
5. Sir, I bow down to your wisdom.
You started off nicely and correctly enough with the point that the Telugu people should not be targeted. And no one agrees with you more on that point than us.
But in the following sentences, you opened your mouth wide, exposed your venomous fangs and lashed out at every other Indian community.
May Allah show you the righteous path and steer you away from the folly of hatred and malice that have unfortunately calcified in your heartless heart.
I did not target any community though they specifically targeted Telugu community.
All the fingers are not same and all the persons in a family itself are not same in the sense of their behavior.
This is how Seemandhra telugu people are when they do not get money, either from dowry or inheritance.
They will loot, kill and do what ever to get away.
That’s what they did to Telangana for 60 odd years..

Sweetie, most human beings will kill, loot, kidnap etc if they think they can get away with their acts.
Raghunandan Yandamuri did what he did because thought he could get away with it.
Let’s not target one group of people.
SI, I like your article!
im one person quiet among big telugus group in US,i see them cheating a lot!
Desi consultancies send telugu wives on h4 to s/w jobs illegally, everything they bring everybody from their village who don even know to speak english.
In graduate schools they r in groups and torturing american profs who say that on the whole Indians are very dangerous they work in groups,copy assignments, stop paying fees, earn illegally,now even killing each other damn not able to watch anymore!

1. Sociologically speaking, I think when Indians in Amreeka start taking to crime, it means they’ve arrived.
For long, we have had only White Criminals, Black Criminals and Hispanic criminals.
Hell, we even have hardcore Chinese criminals here including a few on death row.
WTF were our Indians doing all these days – Eating Dum Biryani, Garlic Naan and Chicken Tikka Masala, writing bugs in software, making bad coffee in Dunkin Donut and cleaning toilets in motels! 🙁
I’m surprised it took so long for Indians to establish their criminal credentials.
The Italians, the Irish, the Mexicans, the Colombians and the Russians who came to Amreeka got on the crime bandwagon much faster compared to Indians.
2. BTW, If you think Telugus can’t speak English, I bet you have never spoken to an average Gujju here!
Even when the average Gujju is ‘speaking’ English you need an interpreter to understand him. 😉
The average Gujju’s English Vocabulary stretches to three English words, “Dunkin Donut” and “Motel.” No kidding.
I cannot for the life of me understand how Gujjus passed the Citizenship Test (there is an English comprehension/writing/reading component in the citizenship exam).
And I’ve never seen a Gujju refer to the Citizenship Exam as anything other than Shittyshen Ship, as if it’s a crappy cruise line.
I don care about Gujju!
They do work for what they know they don’t come to IT industry like Telugus!
I like patel shops and fresh rotis we get there. I like restaurants these own business do not affect other Indians but flooding in offices, colleges.
In the name of java developer,dotnet developer and all wives join as qa and earn 4k per month after landing directly from guntur/devi pattinam, they have friends everywhere damn it
I’m suffering a lot because they don know English I feel i should learn Telugu to survive here!!!!
