Indian-Origin Woman Charged with Two Murders in California, Motive Under Investigation
Anila Baby, a 32-year-old Indian-origin woman from Kerala, has been charged with two counts of murder in California after allegedly killing two friends, Ann Mary Mathew and Anjana Hari, in separate incidents on August 28. Mathew was stabbed at her San Jose home, while Hari was fatally struck by an SUV in Milpitas about 90 minutes later. Authorities linked the cases and arrested Baby, who appeared incoherent and had blood on her at the time. The motive remains under investigation, and Baby faces potential life imprisonment if convicted.
