A perverted killer, termed as 'Tenali Psycho' has been terrorising the people of Guntur district for the past three months. Like a person full of vengeance, this psycho was terrorizing people, women especially, by trying to slit their throats. Three months ago, he has attacked almost 15 women who were alone and in isolated areas. Much to despair, one woman succumbed to the injuries a couple of days after the attack. As the police increased vigil, he went into oblivion for a couple of months and was back on attacking spree since a week now.

Today, on 3 March 2012, a person resembling 'Tenali Psycho' attacked two women in Pedavadlapudi near Mangalagiri town. Hearing their cries, local people rushed to their rescue and caught hold of the offender. People tied him to a tree and thrashed him severely. Later he was handed over to police when he fell unconscious. Police took him into their custody and admitted him to a NRI hospital. It is reported that the person died while undergoing treatment. However, police has not yet confirmed whether the died person is really the dreaded 'Tenali Psycho'. Investigation is still going on and final confirmation is awaited.
