Kerala Woman Charged with Two Murders in California Involving FriendsPreviousNext

Anila Baby, a 32-33-year-old woman from Kerala, California, has been charged with two murders after allegedly killing two friends on August 28. Authorities say she stabbed Ann Mary Mathew in San Jose and later struck Anjana Hari with an SUV in Milpitas. Both victims were known to Baby, and the incidents occurred about 90 minutes apart. Investigators found no clear motive and noted Baby appeared incoherent when arrested. The Santa Clara County District Attorney filed charges on September 8.
