Untold life of Mallika
K.D Kempamma(aka Mallika) was born in1965, in a house decorated with poverty. Mallika was married to a tailor when she was in her teenage. She was a young girl with lots of hopes and dreams. She dreamt of getting wealthy and leading a luxurious life every night. She was extremely dissatisfied with the simple life with a tailor.
Years passed Mallika now has two beautiful daughters, which added to the financial pressure in the family. Mallika started working as a maid in nearby homes. One day when she got up, she saw four men in the neighbourhood in front of her house, she was suspected to have stolen something from a home, which she actually did for funding her daughters’ education. She was taken away to a prison for one long year.
After one year when she returned back to her home, not even her daughters gave a gaze upon her face. They looked at her with disgust.
Mallika then leaves in search of a safe place and reaches a goldsmith. This was the major event that entirely changed her life. As Mallika was cleaning the shelves and she came across a bottle “ What is this for Sir?”, she asked the goldsmith. To which he replied, “It’s something I don’t want you to take, it's a deadly poison.” The bottle read, “Potassium cyanide”.
“My family doesn’t need me anymore, I have no reason to live” these thoughts filled her mind and she couldn’t sleep. She hated living alone but she was afraid to die. But she was not afraid to kill.
In 1999, She did her first experiment on Mamata Hauskota. It clearly was a big win! Here begins the life of one of the most dangerous woman in the India, Cyanide Mallika.

“Renu, I am leaving the house for a business trip and won’t be back home for a few weeks”, Shankar announced to his wife, Renuka and left. But when he came back, he couldn’t find Renuka anywhere. He went out to the police station to register a complaint. The police searched everywhere cross-checked a lot of case files but couldn’t find a clue. Until they got a call reporting a dead body from far away in Kaivara Yogi Narayana Ashram. Shankar confirmed it was his dear wife, Renuka.
But the puzzling question was, why did Renuka go to an Ashram that is situated far away from her hometown? Was she forcefully taken there? The reports also said that all the ornaments were removed from Renuka’s body. The reason for death in the post mortem report was Potassium cyanide. But the investigation took them nowhere.

On September 19, the owner of a Bangalow, near VyadyanathapuraTemple reported an awful smell arising from room number 103. When the police came in and threw the door open, they found the dead body of a woman. Everyone in the guest house were questioned, “This lady came to the room alone, no one was accompanying her”, they answered. One thing that came into their notice was, the woman was wearing expensive clothes. She had no ornaments on her body. Investigators were puzzled.
Vyadyanathapura temple has a vast crowd only during special days or during Puja ceremonies, but nothing happened in temple around that time. The reason why the lady booked a room in the guest house itself posed as an unsolvable question.
They checked through the register, her name was Pilamma, the police noted down the address. While moving towards her home, the chief investigator got a call, “ Sir, the post mortem report says “Potassium cyanide” caused her death.
When Muniraju, Pilamma’s husband was questioned he said, “ Sir, we are building a family temple, my wife asked about the designs to a friend. Next day she went out to Banglore to study the design of temples there”
The investigators failed again as they could not find this friend. And the case didn’t move any further.

As the cases went forward the Karnataka police government deduced the presence of a serial killer.
Four women were killed in a year.
All were from rich families and no one had ornaments.
All of them were religious.
All the crimes happened around a temple.

They had reached a conclusion that all these stolen pieces of jewellery will be sold by the killer in some shops in and around Karnataka. The investigators alerted all of them.
On December 30, 2007 Investigators got the call they were longing for. It was from a Jewellery store owner in Tumkur. “A middle-aged woman approached me with lots of ornaments, I had doubts so I said I don’t have a lot of money at the moment, I can arrange it for tomorrow”
On the next day, investigators were dressed in the forms of waiter, watchmen, rickshaw drivers and sweepers. After almost an hour, a rickshaw approaches, and from it “Cyanide Mallika” puts her first foot forward on the ground.
She surrendered and started revealing the truth!
“I go to temples and observes everyone who shows ardent faith in God. I try to get close to them, be friends with them. I act as the messenger of God, I hear all their problems, their issues with spouse, their pain of having no kids and I ask them to come for Puja in the temple. I ask them to wear their best clothes and ornaments. I feed them with food and holy water that has cyanide in it. I kill them. I take the ornaments.”
Cyanide Mallika is the first Indian woman to become a serial killer.
Love,
Dona
