Oh my goodness. This is such sad news. RIP Saanvi.

My thoughts and prayers go out to the Venna family. Losing both a grandmother and a 10 month old baby girl in a heinous double homicide is almost too much of a loss to even comprehend. The best thing that we can all hope for at this time is to find the person(s) responsible and prosecute them to the fullest extent of the law.

rip baby girl! So so sad. what kind of monster does this?

Oh! This is terrible!!! Why!? Why? Just nonsensical!! Why kill an innocent baby. My heart and prayers go out to her family.

So sad rip lil angle

Why would you kill a baby? She certainly never hurt anyone.

Thats so sad to kill the grandmom and a innosent 10month old baby that cant talk my thoughts and prayers go out to the family who ever did this deserves magers punishment,theres nothing he can do or say to the family I hope he rots in prison

My heart goes out to this family...Sorry for your terrible loss.

To kill a baby in just pure evil! Senseless! RIP many prayers to the family!

How many children have been killed this week in America? Shame on the United States of America. God Please Bless Our Children.

We have to many senseless murders.happening of innocent children lately... Mostly at the hands of a relative or even worse a parent. Its time we stop playing with these sick individuals n giving them a trial. Those kids didnt a trial... To hell with them all. I dont care about mental illness or any of that bs. This kinda crap does not happen as often in other countries like the US... Make an example out of these.monsters...eye for an eye...

Who would do such a thing. I don't have words to say. First it's 2 kids in ny and now this. This world is getting evil. How can u kill a baby who has never hurted anyone. This guy needs to be given a death penalty. May God give this family strength. RIP little Angel. You deserve a better place than this evil world.

How awful ... I have always been so trusting and have always encouraged my kids to be the same. Between Jessica Ridgeway in Colorado, Autrmn Pasquale in Jersey and now this I am so sad that you really can't trust anyone ... neighbors, teens, family friends ... my heart breaks for these families.

it a shame what he did to that family rip to both he need life, he need to be off the streets. they did not deserve that at all. GOD BLESS THAT FAMILY AND KIDS

No words my heart and prayers go to the family .. Such a lil Angel, how can that A***** do this ... He should be sent to death sentence no mercy no pleading gulity .....

The worst thing happen to any Family. Since Indians are more affectionate to their children and parents and friends, I can't believe a Friend did all these senseless acts. Hope truth will come out soon. Many prayers to the family and god will give good strength to come out of this tragidy.

So sad. My thoughts and prayers to the family. Why harm a baby? I just don't understand how people can do this and be able to live with them selfs totally blows me away. Rip lil angle.

I seriously curse everyone who is responsible for this...screw all of u guys..how can you kill a lil kid man..scre u JAMF..

I think its a pitiful shame that these people have such a disturbing life to do nothing but worry about money and plot to kill people what a world of animals

I can't believe this loser. He intended to kill them cause he could have tied the grandma up if he wanted money. Fry his ass. No excuses.

RIP little angel.

What a stupid guy.
How did he ever think he would be able to get away.
Gaping holes in Ransom note.
Name of the wife is quoted, Baja Fresh is termed Baha Fresh.
Lots of Grammatical mistakes.
automatically shows this is an insider job and not american.
Stupid indian newspapers blaming African americans.

Raghunandan Yandamuri ROT IN eARTH & HELL son of a bitch...May you never get peace in nxt 7 births...Prayers 2 the unfortunate family...RIP baby girl !!!

see how sick this world really is, mindless evils, jerks are living in this world. Rip Saanvi Venna. May god bless their family.

I thought she would come back safe and was checking in the mid night & early morning also for saanvi news, Just for the sake of Money he killed Baby and acted innocent with every body. Does this guys know what is meant by family?
My prayers with Saanvi family.

Hang him public.l.. why did he kill a small baby who knows only to smile and make everyone happy with her smiles RIP.......

RIP Saanvi.

What a "MONSTER"? What did the little girl do to you? He should be persecuted to the fullest extent.

What a creep! He didn't have to kill Saavni. My heartfelt prayers to her parents.

May baby Sannvi rest in peace and that scumbag burn in hell for all eternity. He should be executed. What is this world coming to?

RIP saanvi venna and her grand ma..and the people responsible for this should be punished..very very seriously,...How can you kill lil angel

I have tears in my eyes thinking of an innocent little girl and grandmother so brutally and tragically taken--may they both rest in peace. My thoughts and prayers go out to their families.

he is so senseless.how did he kill the little baby for money.he must be hang...

I was hoping she would comeback home safe. I'm extremely sad to hear the news of her death. Her big eyes are going to stay with me for a long long time. I can't comprehend what would be going through her parents & family at this moment. My prayers go for them.
This kind of crime can happen anywhere. What's surprising is that an Indian guy does it to the family he's socially spent time with. He has taken advantage of their trust. In general, Indian communities are very supportive of one another when they are away from their country. Even if they don't know each other, they'll be human enough to lend a hand. This satanic act is extremely malicious! This person should be tried with strictest rules. Who kills an innocent baby for money?? Sick!

CUT THIS A**** KILLER INTO PIECES(ONE PART A DAY).....AS SAID ABOVE FRY HIS A**......SO CUTIE ANGEL.....TEARS IN MY EYES......I CAN ONLY CONVINCE BY THINKING GOD WANTED SANVI CLOSE BY TO GIVE ETERNAL PIECE to stay away from this evil world...... :-(

IF HE WANTED MONEY HE SHOULD HAVE ASKED VENNA......HE WOULD HAVE DEFINATELY HELPED....

RIP saanvi may your killer suffer for what he did.

i cant close my eyes after seeing that baby :(( oh my ... is he a human being to kill such a cute loveable baby.. he must be punished not just with dead.. but.. he should feel the pain pain pain.. pain in his life... till his end of his life...

Shocking!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Condolences to the family.

Deeply saddened to hear this. May her soul rest in peace. Never expected that the baby will be found dead in this condition :-(

The killer is not a human being and will rot in hell for sure..

This outcome is just heartbreaking. My prayers will go out to this family.

RIP Saanvi... Our thoughts and prayers are with your family....

this maniac deserves no mercy and deserves the electric chair. he is a cold-hearted killer who has no remorse or regret for killing a helpless child who had her whole life ahead of her. The fact that the killer wanted his wife to collect the reward just shows how much of a low-life this piece of crap is

Total disbelief..I feel numb and lost. I have a daughter little older than Saanvi.. at 10 months she began walking..I can't imagine what the parents must be going through. Its pure evil..the son of a bitch Raghunandan should rot to death..he is a monster in disguise..

He should be treated with the same way and kill him without any mercy. Very sad and my deepest condolence to Venna family.

- Lakshmi

Such a sad news. what did that angel do to you idiot ? and poor grandmother,she fighted for her granddaughter . So saddended by this news. God,please do not let these kind of people born into this world .I have no words to say to venna family:(

I'm sick. A 10 month old innocent child? My prayers are with the family and what a monster to do this to a beautiful baby. Wow.

To hell with prison for this bastard. Not on my taxpayer dime. Suffocate HIM and chop HIM into pieces feed to a pack of dogs. This will expedite his reincarnation to what he is- dog crap.

guess what they are going to do to him in jail, rip baby and grandmother

I have tears in my eyes thinking of an innocent little girl and grandmother so brutally and tragically taken--may they both rest in peace. My thoughts and prayers go out to their families. The person involved in this henious crime has to be punished fullest extent. - Shiva G

they say god calls good people early but it was very very too soon for a little angel i was awaiting to know if the baby was a safe return my anguish does'nt stop here on Raghunandan Yandamuri's both homicides i pray for the venna family await to hear on how many counts Raghunandan Yandamuri would be sentenced...
RIP Darling Angel Saanvi Venna

My prayers goes out to the family.

he should be punished severly .

:-(((((((((((

is this f****** b****** insane.. ? he commits the crime and before even he realises it he wants the authorities to project his wife turned him in..??? you aren't still getting ur eyes off the $$$$ aren't you.. you sick b*******...

i think now we cant trust anybody-is the real world we want to live in-now i have to start suspecting everyone who i believe is a friend

its my request to judge ,Don't even prosecute him,waste of time. just shot him at point blank range

He should not be killed..He should be tortured in such a way that no one should think of doing such crime again..

Siri

Oh, this was sooooo sad. Why did he have to kill the baby? Materialism always brings out the worst in people.

Such Animals should be chained well, and never let out.. God Bless the family & Soul of lil baby & grandmom..:( :( :( very sad!

This is just heartbreaking. Why? WHY? WHY???!!!

Monster, a real monster. never knew monsters are among us putting up a friendly face and we thought monsters are scary...cannot find words to curse this @#&**&^!! and no gory punishment can be sufficient to this henious creature. He should be punished in such a way that he curses his own life to be alive. I was constantly looking for updates of Saanvi in hope of getting some good news, could not stop my tears and getting angry at God too for letting such thing happen. I am a monther too but cannot even imagine what the baby's parents must be going thru now. God knows how long it will take them to get back to normal or come to terms with this. Days are such we cannot trust even our friends and that too from the same community. With this incident we are forced to see everyone with a doubt in heart and a question mark. I wish a miracle could happen and baby could come alive....if only wishes could come true...I cannot stop crying...I am not able forget the baby's face, so innocent, so adorable... lord please do not let such incidents repeat again.

OMG.. This monster shouldnot be simply hanged.. should put him GTMO, prisoners don't like this kind of child killers..they should cut his body parts and finally should kill him in to pieces.

He must be hanged till death.

Heart wrenching unfortunate incident. What sorrows me the most is death of innocent little cute baby & how bravely her granny came back to fight this evil monster when he tried to kidnap the little one.  When the baby's dad came to know the whole story, he misses his mom more.  Thats real mom's love & a heroic death.

May God rest the souls in peace.

RIP little angel Saanvi.

no words to describe abt the incident. saddest news ever.

When i see her pictures just feel like extending my hands and pick her up in my arms and snuggle....did that bastard see the baby's face while doing all that henious crime???? still he managed to this...he is just not fit to live or at least get away with life time in prison...he cannot have such an easy end to his life....must be thrown into some pit when creatures like him eat him away alive and he curse his life every second and wish for his death and that should never come to him. he is such a BIG disgrace to the whole community.

I was hoping and praying for Saanvi's safe return every day and night since I saw her missing! This is terrible news. That bastard should be tortured and put to death in public so others don't do thi. Too many news of children getting killed in the past few weeks. Where are we headed as a society...$50,000?!!! Saanvi's parents would have just lended it to him if he had asked for it...

Right down the street from me.
This "person" should be left in general prison population, they will take care of the justice needed for this animal.

So true...for $50,0000 he took away two precious lives adn that too one that is just budding. can he give life to them even if he gets trillions of $????in this month alone this is the 4th case I am seeing, with a very sad end. I pray Venna's family got hold of themselves, though it is hard...

yes i agree , he must be hanged till death.

priyanka
how can anyone kill small baby ,babies are so inoscent.God will give him punishment too soon.really feel bad for venna family,i can understand their loss.

Horrible , need to punish these kind of people so that no one will dare to do this.
RIP Saanvi & Grandmother. many prayers to the family.

This guy just got married on April 25th 2012

It was very sad,,,we were hoping that the baby will come back...how did he get that thought to kill an innocent baby for stupid money...

VK

50k for two lives, and as compensation to a girl who married this %^($$%^. I have no words. Every 1 inch of his body must be cut down every two week. Saanvi, dear baby, i dont have anything else other than few drops of tears. RIP.

This is horrible. I was just waiting for Saanvi's safe return all these days. I cannot imagine how her parents are going through this tough time. How could someone be so cruel to such innocent lovely baby.
He should be punished all his life so that he will know how much pain he gave to everyone.
He should not be given mercy by the court.
He should be charged with the most painful punishment but not death punishment which is not sufficient for this cruel monster.
RIP saanvi and grandmom

Rip him apart...such an asshole....
No pain is bigger than losing a child for parents...
Need money then earn, if cannot earn then kill urself...
RIP baby sweetheart and granny...

Don't deport this monster to India. There he will be roaming free. Indian govt cannot even put Kasab (terrorist in Mumbai blast) to death what are going to do with this stupid Yendamuri? Ship him to some country where laws are strong and where they will fry him alive.
CA

Such a sick minded person. He has killed two innocent lives and left unlimited grief to the family persons. All because of envious and sick attitude. He should be harshly punished.

Cannot begin to imagine the pain that the parents are going through. Not even monsters kills babies. Death penalty isn't what he needs - he should be placed in the general prison population for a life-time of excrucating pain, which his fellow inmates will only be too pleased to administer to him...

They need to kill him the way he killed that poor inocint baby and grandmother. God bless hope they rest in piece and the angels now protect them. That's what's wrong with this world. People that kill are still alive. They need to do to them as they do to others.

Wonder why he wanted 50 K so badly. He had a good job in ebay as a software engg and family back in India seems ok. Didnt he even wonder what wold happen to him or his wife or his family, if he gets caught. He would have hit the grandmother with sometime rather than snab her with a knife n kill her. Didnt he think aout what he would do with a baby, before he kidnapped her. Two innocent life wasted for nothin.
Poor wife of his, she would have dreamt about a wonderful married life in USA.

This is height of stupidity. Looks like this guy has seen and influenced by lot of stupid kidnapping movies. Acting innocent and helping in the search is another stupidity.

Why do certain humans do such senseless acts in the name of MONEY, cannot understand, cannot reason it. Our heart goes to Venna family, our prayers are with you for such a tragic loss. RIP baby Saanvi.

What should the parents of the baby do now? Their life would be a living hell. Once they are able to gather some of their wits, they should adopt a baby of similar age and give it all the love and care they have in store for Saanvi. I think Saanvi too will appreciate that. My two cents.

I still cant believe that this idiot killed precious little angel,i was praying all these days for her safe return.This idiot should be killed 1000 times by removing each part each day.My prayers for the Venna Parents and RIP Saanvi and Sathyavathi Venna

My deepest condolences for the Venna family.. I have a daughter of around the same age and she is the best thing ever happened in my life and I am sure any parent feels the same about their Kid..

Something is terribly wrong with this Raghunandan..Wonder if he is stupid, lunatic, irresponsible or a combination of everything ..How did he even think he can get away..50K is no big deal and I am sure he can make that money in 6 - 9 months or 1 year at max working for ebay...How did he not think of his wife, family, his future..Not sure why he wanted 50K so badly..He can apply for a personal loan and get that money from any bank in India..People want quick money without working \ patience..There is no reason for this crime.. Maybe he is inspired by silly telugu movies..

My parents have come from India to take care of my daughter..They are terrified for the past 3 days to even go out of the house..We were hoping / prarying for the safe return of the baby..But now we are all shocked of this senseless act of a fellow Indian..

Pure evil. Rest in peace little baby. Death penalty is justified. Not for revenge, but to protect the rest of the world's people. Do not feed and house him for years in prison. Do not give him TV or books or exercise equipment or any human pleasures. He needs to be removed from this life. Show no mercy to pure evil.

this is really really fucked up . How is this guy still breathing? He better kill himself before someone else does .

such a cute little girl. thats really sad. what people do for money. crazy crazy world. its really a shame how important money is and the lengths people are willing to go to for it. i live 5 mins from where this happened. scary stuff. love how it took 4 days though for cops to find the baby who was in the building the whole time

Why can't they use super dogs to catch early???????????????????????

Wife playing innocent. Both may have planned this. But letgo of one. I wish they find more evidence and put both in prison. They shud live forever and be ill treated with humiliation. Punish them hard.RIP Saanvi and her granny.

Wht were cops doing ,couldnt save the kid.

Saanvi baby.. love you sooo much!!
From the day I saw your news I was hoping and praying that you return back safely to your mama and papa. But now I am so sad to know that you left all of us for good. RIP my lil angel. With my eyes full of tears, all I hope now is that monsters gets the maximum torture in the prison for the rest of his life. I feel so sorry for your parents and your grandfather back home..

It is very unfortunate to see a little girl and elderly lady life being snuffed by a lunatic.
Can not imagine how one can take a life of a little girl for money. My heart goes out to Venna family and no words can suffice to heal their loss. RIP little girl and her grand mother.

May God bless this family and give them strength to cope with their loss. Such a terrible tragedy.

Rest in peace Saanvi and grandmother. Such a senseless act.....so sad.

My prayers to Venna's family. It is a sad for humanity & especially in Indian community. This is the 1st time I ever heard and Indian killed any body in USA. I can not call him as a human being in 1st place. How can he be a friend. I believe he lost his right to live on this beautiful earth.

Deepest sorrow for your loss. Mercies to you and justice to the one who has caused so much pain.

This letter shows how stupid this guy can be...full of mistakes...How did he come to US with this kind of knowledge.
Indian killing Indian unbelievable that too for money...kidnapping a baby...jerk...
Do no call your parents o take care of your kids.Don't risk their lives and happiness by calling one and not the other separating them is also a punishment in their old age.
When you guys can make money please pay for day care where at least you can trust your baby is safe to an n extent...do not risk others lives here.

This guy needs a bad lesson...send him to Saudi..These jerks should have worked there first ,learn what life and money is.

Nowadays people want free money without working hard.

I am saddened by this horrible crime, 2 innocent Human beings living life by right then their lives are taken by such a thoughtless, greedy, mud-faced individual!!! My heart is HURTING!!! so sad...

Who can help but cry upon hearing the news of this baby's whereabouts. Little innocent child of God, breaks my heart beyond words. How anyone can hurt even a hair on the head of a child, it defies comprehension. Maybe God needed a tiny angel, I don't know...no family should have to endure this treachery.

Rip

I think his wife had part in this too poor baby so sad

30 mins... gimme 30 mins in a room with this guy and no cameras

Calling him an animal is an insult to the creature. How can evil live amongst us .. There is no frickin God. Nothing and nothing will ever heal the scars of the family. May they get strength to cope with this. Every one says kill him, hack him, shred him.. thats not the solution. A evil person like this has to live 100 years, repenting, realizing his mistake every second. That is bigger punishment than killing him in one second. If he does not realize what he has done in due time, then he is mentally ill. Poor child and brave and courageous grand mother. His parents are to blame for giving birth to a monster like him, for raising him as a insensitive evil person.

Your big round eyes had been haunting me from the day I saw your pic the first day on TV and now it is unbearable to digest the news. Why? Why did this happen? God is cruel at times...

Pavan Reddy....
Raghu Nandan I guess even god also will not allow you to hell or heaven...Your parents,wife also will say that you are nothing to them....I dont know how god has given you human life...better die yourself..no one will excuse you..You made India to feel shame you blady rascal...I will kill you..He should be killed in same way how he killed grandma and little angel....You are born to devils you ......I will kill you

To Saanvi - The world is sorry to have let this happen to you. RIP you angel, you deserve better place than this earth. GOD would have wept for you.
And to the moron - Death is lesser of a punishment to you. You need to live with all this guilt for rest of your life.

god how stupidity it is?

Execute this monster. I volunteer to pull the switch!

My prayers are with the family. I am truly saddened for them and our country. We need to choose as individuals to make a difference. We have a president that promotes envy...that person has more than me and somehow I deserve what they have. It's not FAIR! Don't be bothered by the fact that THEY earned it. Somehow this loser felt entitled to what his "friend" had because in his mind his friend had more than enough. As parents we have taught our children that everyone is our competitor and needs to be knocked down. Cheat if necessary to get ahead...it's all part of the game! We are a devided nation...black v white...man v woman...rich v poor...our president promotes these divisions every day. Wake up to the bigger picture. This poor baby was killed because of pure envy and entitlement!

These horrific crimes do not have the appropriate punishment. The individuals committing these crimes are not humans, they are monsters. There is no ifs, ands, or buts about it, they have no reason to remain alive. It's not like rehabilitation is possible.

This is the best part.....

......allegedly asked the detectives to tell the media that his wife "turned him in" so that she could receive the reward money......

Just put him in the middle of an intersection and blow his head off; he is not worth spending anyone's time and money.

Mother of One
RIP beautiful Saanvi and grandmother. such a senseless act. So sad. We have very sick sick people amongst us. G'mom will protect you over the other side. May God Bless this family as their go thru this mourning period. RIP!!

My heart grieves for the Venna family--losing a beautiful child and a loving grandmother at the hands of a greedy, selfish inhumane person, I can't begin to imagine the depth of their grief and anger. Prayers for Saanvi and Satyavathi, and especially for the parents of little Saanvi.

Such inhumane persons should be eliminated from this world,putting such persons behind bars (jail) is not the solution...He should be punished like what he did..

Muddu lolike chanti papani champadaniki aa kasai gadiki chetulu elagochayo...my heartfelt condolences to the bereaved family...

Yh.. He must cry for death.... Cut a piece from his body every day... Starting with his hands..... He must repent all his life for being alive..... Pls god don't let any child die...

How cruel he will be to kill 10 months baby . He should not live this world so plz kill him.

For the love of money is the root of all evil, I doubt this guy had murderous intent, he just didn't expect to encounter 2 strong women that fought for their freedom. May they rest in peace. I'm very cautious of people who appear to love money or covet things, how quickly things can escalate and ruin the lives of many.

kk

Saanvi is TOOOOOO CUTE and PRECIOUS for this evil world. This ugly world with such henious people is not a place for an angel like her, may be that is why God took her to his side. Even God must have not realized what an angle she is going to be when he put life in her at birth and later realized she is tooo cute an angle to be in this bad world. hmmm....I wish Saanvi's parents could give birth to another child soon (though it is too hard), name the baby Saanvi too if it is a baby girl. May be that way they will get some peace of mind. If this could really happen(if they can have another child) the baby will be a BABY for the whole community and all the well wishers of Venna's and have all of their blessings.
What human words an console them and give them strength? May God just for one minute concentrate all his power, might and compassion and give that to the parents. Only GOD can heal them no one else and I am sure he WILL bless them 10 folds of their loss. May his AMAZING power and peace be with Venna's all through their lives.

Very sad. This only makes one wonder where this world is heading? What happened to his basic human values? I could only wish God had put a grain size of Intelligence into this Monsters brain. RIP Saanvi & Grandmaa.

If it were upto me .. i would suggest burying him alive in the deepest darkest place on earth where every minute that he dies he would recall his monstrous act and the effect of it everybody while the world above no longer needs to worry about the existence of such evil and could breath easy, now that the evil is casted back to hell.
