A 53-year-old Indian-origin IT professional was arrested on Monday after he walked into a police station in northern California along with a dead body in his car and allegedly confessed to have killed three other people at his apartment, US media reports stated. Driving a red Mazda6, Shankar arrived at the police station in Mount Shasta with a corpse in his car. He allegedly told officers that he had killed three other people in his apartment in the Placer County city of Roseville, over 350 kms away, prompting police officials to investigate the incident. Placer County District Attorney Ronald Scott Owens filed a criminal complaint against Shankar Nagappa Hangud suggesting that the four victims were allegedly killed over the span of a week. While two victims were allegedly killed on October 7, the third victim is believed to have died a day later. All three were found dead at Shankar's apartment in Roseville, 350 km away from the police station where he turned himself in. The three victims included two adults and a juvenile who are all relatives of Hangud, investigating officials told the LA Times. According to the complaint, the fourth victim, another relative, was allegedly killed on October 13 in Siskiyou County which is where Mount Shasta is located. Shankar turned himself into the police a day later at the Mount Shasta police department. He is in custody at the South Placer Jail after he was brought back from Mount Shasta on Monday. The 53-year-old faces four charges of murder. US media reports that Shankar, who is believed to be the sole suspect, has been taken back to Placer Counter, where he is now lodged in jail. “There are crime scenes that have been processed, the suspect has been interviewed, but there’s a lot of stones that have been unturned that these detectives still need to look into before making a real determination about what the motivation was, what led the suspect to do the things that he did,” Roseville police captain Josh Simon said at a press conference reported by Oxygen.com Shankar was a data specialist and he worked for many companies in the Sacramento area. He previously worked at a company named Social Interest Solutions in Sacramento in the role of ETL Architect and Manager, according to his LinkedIn profile.
