An Indian software engineer, Avinash Narne, has been charged with the alleged murder of his wife, Raajitha Sabbineni, in Bellevue, Washington, nearly nine months after her death. Investigators allege he strangled her, staged the scene to mislead police, and sent a photograph of her body to a woman in India with whom he reportedly had a long-term relationship. Messages from the victim about bitter-tasting drinks and a “medicine-like” smoothie, along with digital evidence, strengthened the case. Narne now faces a first-degree murder charge and could receive life imprisonment if convicted.
