Raghunandan Yandamuri G U I L T Y of First Degree Murder in the brutal, senseless crime that took the lives of baby Saanvi Vennas and her 61-year-old grandmother Satyavathi Venna at their King of Prussia (PA) apartment complex on October 22, 2012 during a botched kidnapping for ransom bid.
Yandamuri (28), a software programmer hailing from Andhra Pradesh/Telengana region in South India, was known to the victim Vennas since he stayed in the same Marquis apartment complex in King of Prussia, PA.
Prosecutors said Yandamuri’s gambling habit, which triggered his financial woes, prompted him to plot baby Saanvi’s kidnapping that went horribly, tragically awry.
The grandmother died of stab wounds while the baby met its end through “soft strangulation” after Yandamuri put a handkerchief in her mouth, a towel on the head and put it in a suitcase that he dumped in an unused sauna room in the apartment complex.
After the kidnapping and the murders, Yandamuri participated in a candlelit vigil praying for the baby’s safe return and also passed out flyers seeking the baby’s return.
Yandamuri also returned to the Valley Forge casino and continued with his gambling.
Following his confession to the police, Yandamuri wanted the reward money put up for baby Sanvi Venna’s safe return to be given to his wife.
The charges against Yandamuri included murder in the first degree, murder in the second degree, kidnapping, burglary and abuse of corpse. The jury found Yandamuri guilty on all counts including kidnapping, robbery and abuse of corpse.
With hands folded, Yandamuri was in the court room when the jury verdict was read out to a packed room. He showed no expression when the guilty verdict in First Degree Murder was read out.
