Rani Padmini, 22, and her mother, 46, were found dead in their newly rented Chennai home on Thursday. Police say the killer entered the house before the women returned and hid inside. Their bodies were discovered in a bathroom. The two women had recently moved into the house and were planning to buy it. They had hired staff to help run the property.
The Rani Padmini case is being spun into yet another alarm about 'house help from outside'. But the police have not named any hired worker as a suspect. The killer was reportedly known to the family and had been let in. The lazy narrative of 'dangerous strangers' distracts from a harder question: could background checks for domestic staff, if mandated, have changed anything here? Watch for the charge sheet, a named suspect with a motive will settle where the real failure lies.
