Sunday, May 18, 2008 (Noida)
Police have claimed to have ''ample evidence'' that teenaged school student Arushi was killed by her family's murdered domestic help Hemraj or a former servant even as post-mortem reports said both were done to death in a similar manner using the same weapon around the same time.''We have got ample evidence and proof that there is involvement of a domestic help - either servant or an ex-domestic help - because the entire process of entry and murder proves one fact that the person was very well conversant with the topography of the (Talwars') house'', Senior Superintendent of Police A Satish Ganesh said.Police sources said they were zeroing on domestic help theory on the basis of fingerprints of four to five persons obtained in the room of Hemraj.Efforts were being made to match the fingerprints with those of the deceased servant's kins and former domestic helps of the Talwar family.Ganesh said the Talwars had engaged seven to eight domestic helps in the last five years.However, police are yet to get any clue as to why Hemraj was murdered and by whom.According to a police, the post-mortem report of both 14-year-old Arushi and Hemraj said that both of them were murdered in a similar manner using the same weapon at around same time.Police questioned a compounder of Arushi's dentist parents Rajesh and Nupur Talwar and the son-in-law of Hemraj in connection with the double murder.
