Homicide Investigation: Software Engineer Charged in Wife's Murder
A suspicious smoothie. Repeated calls to another woman. Deleted messages. And an autopsy that didn't match what happened during the initial emergency call. That’s what US investigators found. It became the thread leading them to charge a Telangana software engineer with murdering his wife, just months after they got married.
Thirty-year-old Avinash Narne was arrested. The accusation came from US authorities. They claimed he killed his wife, twenty-seven-year-old Raajitha Sabbineni, at their Bellevue apartment back in October 2025.
It started looking like a medical emergency. Avinash called nine-one-one. He said he was running errands. But when they got there, his wife was locked inside the bathroom. Unresponsive. Responders had to force the door open and try CPR before Raajitha was officially declared dead.
But things shifted completely later on. The medical examiner looked closer. They found she hadn't just suffered a sudden death. It was asphyxia. Strangulation. That changed everything. Suddenly, it wasn’t just a tragic accident anymore. It became a homicide investigation.
As detectives started digging into Avinash’s life, looking at his movements and all the digital stuff he left behind, they found things pointing toward another woman in India. He had been communicating with her. Even after he was married. Phone records showed him talking to her multiple times right around the time Raajitha died. Including that day when he later claimed he was trying to get into that locked bathroom.
Police also alleged something more disturbing. Avinash allegedly sent the woman a photograph of Raajitha’s body. They looked at those deleted messages too.
Investigators figured this other relationship might be connected to the killing. But they still haven't publicly laid out what the actual motive was.
Raajitha’s conversations with a close friend before she died brought up another piece. She had been complaining about a smoothie Avinash made. It tasted weird. Unusual. On the day she died, she texted him something specific. The drink tasted “like cough syrup.” Detectives took those texts seriously. They used them when trying to piece together what happened leading up to it.
The combination of autopsy findings. Phone records. Those text messages. The deleted chats. And that alleged photo sent after the death that formed the backbone of the case. It led detectives straight to Avinash as the prime suspect for killing his wife, barely four months into their marriage.
