Bengaluru Police have filed a 2,085-page chargesheet against Shwetha S and her live-in partner J Kenneth in the triple murder of her parents and younger sister in K R Puram. The chargesheet, submitted three months after the June 22 killings, includes statements from 110 witnesses and forensic and medical reports. Police said a supplementary chargesheet will be filed after receiving three pending reports, including CCTV confirmation.
Shwetha and Kenneth were arrested days after the murders of Somasundar, Muthulakshmi and Supriya at their apartment. Police allege Kenneth planned the killings over months, using an AI chatbot to research killing methods and evidence disposal. Shwetha, who initially claimed sole responsibility but later denied Kenneth's direct role, has sought to become an approver. Her request is before the court.
Indian Opinion Analysis
Both outlets filed essentially identical straight wire reporting, leading with the 2,085-page chargesheet and the court filing. The News Minute adds the AI-chatbot detail and Shwetha's approver bid, TOI specifies 110 witnesses and the pending CCTV report. Neither outlet editorialises against the accused or the police, and neither glosses over the brutality. The difference is purely editorial selection: one highlights procedural next steps, the other evidentiary gaps. The balanced reading is that this is a routine preliminary filing in a high-profile case. What decides the trial is whether the CCTV report confirms the couple's presence, and whether the magistrate grants approver status to Shwetha. Watch the court's ruling on that application and the promised supplementary chargesheet.
