Washington: 10-month-old baby Saanvi Venna, who went
missing from her family's suburban Philadelphia apartment earlier this
week, has been found dead and a family friend is charged in her death
and her grandmother's killing. Saanvi's body was found today in the
basement of another building in the apartment complex.
Montgomery
County District Attorney Risa Vetri Ferman says a family friend planned
to kidnap the girl and ransom her for $50,000. Ferman says that plan
went awry when Saanvi's paternal grandmother, Satyavathi Venna, was
killed trying to fight the man off. Mrs Venna had arrived from Andhra
Pradesh in July and was scheduled to return home in January.
Baby Saanvi's parents, father Venkata Konda Siva Venna, and mother
Chenchu Latha Punuru, emigrated to the US from India in February 2007.
The couple lived in San Antonio, Cleveland and Troy, Michigan, before
moving to the Philadelphia-area apartment complex in June this year.
The local police and the Telugu community had announced a $30,000 reward
for information leading to the safe return of the baby on Wednesday.
This was later increased to $50,000. The Federal Bureau of Investigation
(FBI) had also joined the massive search for the baby.
