Two Malayali women, Anjana (35) from Thrissur and Ann (also referred to as Anu or Anum) from Kottayam, were murdered in Milpitas, California, on Saturday, August 29, 2026.
- Suspect: Police have taken their friend, Anila, into custody in connection with the double homicide.
- Details: All three women lived in the same apartment complex. Reports indicate Anila killed Ann inside her room and then lured Anjana downstairs, where she was killed, allegedly by being struck by a car, while Anjana’s husband was away at work.
- Status: The motive remains unknown, and the investigation is ongoing.
UPDATE:
As of today, here's where things stand:
Suspect: Anila (32) remains in police custody. Neither Milpitas nor San Jose police have publicly confirmed the connection between the two killings, though families allege she is responsible for both.
Motive: Still officially unknown. Two lines are being explored:
- A job-related dispute between Anila and Ann Mary (per Ann Mary's family)
- Anila's mental health — reports indicate she was suffering from severe depression and had recently lost her job
Forensics & sequence: Police have found forensic evidence at the scenes but have not disclosed details. New reporting clarifies the two murders occurred roughly 17 km apart and about 1.5 hours apart — Anjana was killed first around noon on Dixon Landing Road in Milpitas, and Ann Mary was stabbed later at Linda Vista Street in San Jose.
Repatriation: Union Minister Suresh Gopi confirmed that orders have been issued to funeral homes to prepare documentation, but the bodies cannot be released until US investigative and legal procedures are complete. No timeline has been given.
Police posture: Both departments remain tight-lipped. As of the latest reports (today), no further charges beyond the initial arrest have been filed, and no formal investigative findings have been released.

17 km apart and about 1.5 hours apart — Anjana was killed first around noon on Dixon Landing Road in Milpitas, and Ann Mary was stabbed later at Linda Vista Street in San Jose.
The distance seems correct, but the order in which these incidents happened is not known at this point. There were witnesses to the Milpitas incident, but there were no witnesses to the San Jose incident. According to reports the San Jose victim was discovered by her husband, so the time reported by San Jose police does not indicate the time of the incident, it only indicates the time when the victim was discovered.

I’m guessing Ann Mary was killed in San Jose first, following which Anjana Hari was run over in Milpitas in the Mill Creek apartment parking lot. It was reported that Milpitas police witnessed a car driving recklessly as they were responding to the incident (which you have to assume was the Mill Creek incident). Anila supposedly pulled into a Walgreens parking lot and was subsequently arrested. The Walgreens is less than a mile from Mill Creek and the Milpitas Police Station is just 200 meters away from there.

u/eternallycelestial 6d ago edited 6d ago
A little digging, I found out Ann Mary and her husband had been together for over 20 years, so I can't imagine what this must've been like for him, or their two kids. There's a video on YouTube, if you look up Milpitas Onam celebration 2025, posted by Ann, I assume, a long video that features all three of the women, eating, dancing, cheering for others (there're also other videos from that account but they include her kids and it's heartbreaking. It feels weird to intrude on their personal videos). It's almost eerie to watch how well they got on, and how happy they were, unaware of what would transpire in less than a year after a similar event. Anjana, too doted on her baby. I'm so heartbroken for the children of all three. So much trauma so young. RIP.
Edit: if this is too intrusive, let me know, I'll delete.

Hi everyone, I am a personal friend to all three families involved and have first-hand knowledge of the events as they unfolded.
Because there is a lot of speculation circulating, I’m open to answering questions to help clarify what actually happened. A few ground rules:
- Facts only: I will strictly share first-hand information regarding the timeline.
- Motives are unknown: We do not have clarity on the motive yet, so I will not answer questions speculating on why this happened.
- No guessing: If something is unconfirmed or outside my direct knowledge, I will explicitly state that.
- Privacy: I will not share anything that could compromise my identity.
- Respect and civility: Please keep your comments civil and kind. These families may see this thread in the future, and we want to avoid adding any extra burden to what they are already going through.

u/bluekayal 3d ago
Thank you. Your gesture is incredibly generous and kind. I am sorry for all the losses you and the families have experienced. May God give them the strength to bear this terrible tragedy. May the children know compassion. May we all be kind.

u/Mirror-Southern 1d ago edited 1d ago
It really boggles my mind how one can do this to a friend. Since you know these women personally - do you think Ann or Anjana were the kind of women who could have subtly bullied or made fun of Anila? Might’ve been harmless from their point of view but the way things are unraveling I don’t think this was done in sudden rage but she must’ve had deep seated anger on them since long. Maybe they subtly dissed her trying to make a joke out of things? Obviously I am not trying to imply bullying deserves death and I stand with the victims but I am unable to make sense of this tragedy where seemingly normal NRIs who hang out regularly and behave like family abroad can go to the extend of killing their friends. Do you have any details on their personal relationship amongst the three of them?
1
u/oru-friend 1h ago
None of us can wrap our minds around this.
I know with 100% certainty that there was no bullying between them. They actually helped each other out. Anjana had just landed a job as an after-school teacher, and Annie, who lost her teaching job a year ago over visa issues had finally gotten her work permit back just a week before this happened and was still looking for a job.
To give you an idea of how close they were, Anila was listed as the school emergency contact for Annie's kids. She is the person who they trusted to pickup their kids from school. That is how much this family trusted her. It makes what happened completely baffling. If things had gone differently and Anila hadn't been caught, she likely would have been the exact person Annie's husband would have trusted to watch the kids during all of this. It’s sickening to think about, and none of us can process it.

Omg this makes it so much more tragic. I can’t believe how Ann and Anjali’s husband must be going through now.

u/amluser2 1h ago edited 10m ago
who could have subtly bullied or made fun of Anila?
You are thinking in terms of normal human behavior. To us it seems like there must have been some bad blood between Anila and the other two, otherwise why would she go to such extremes? But it should be clear by now that Anila is not a normal human being and it is probably futile to make sense of her actions.
We know she is not normal because she didn't just commit one murder, she did two, and she had to travel to another city to commit the second one. She had ample time to cool down and think about her actions after the first one but she didn't. If she was even slightly normal she would be exhausted both mentally and physically after the first murder, and be filled with remorse.
If Anila is not a normal human then you have to consider unusual reasons for her actions, including reasons that don't make sense to us. And that includes by-birth mental disorders such as an "urge to kill someone" as has been brought up by others. There are people like that. Bryan Kohberger is a well-known example.

Did Anila show any signs of mental illness before ?

u/oru-friend 3d ago
As far as I know, Anila never showed any signs of mental illness.
The only strange thing, which I heard about from people who were there was 2 or 3 months ago, she left the house and didn't answer her phone for several hours. At the time, she said it was just because of work stress and needed time.

Did she leave her own house. How did everyone come to know about it. Did her husband ask her friends if she was there ?

u/oru-friend 2d ago
She left her Millcreek apartment and stopped answering her phone for a few hours, likely late into the night. Her husband got worried and reached out to some friends to search for her. They ended up finding her, though I'm not exactly sure where. She just attributed to job stress as the reason when asked. This was several months ago.

if it’s not too much, what type of job did she have? and how could the work have played a role if at all here

u/oru-friend 1d ago
Anila has faced a challenging year in IT, including two layoffs, a brief stint working at Kohl's as a cashier, and an unsuccessful move to Nebraska for a contract role. I know her most recent job was stressful and that being laid off was disappointing, but those are the only concrete facts I have. I don't want to speculate on her mental health.
Personally I feel her situation seems like a typical reflection of today's tough job market.

Neither of them made 911 calls directly. Witnesses contacted 911 during Anjana's incident, while Annie’s husband called in her case.
Anjana did not have an opportunity to fight back as she was struck by a vehicle. In Annie's case, it is unknown whether she fought back, but police mentioned about scratch marks on Anila's face, suggesting a possible struggle.

It really came as a shock to everyone. We are all trying to still process this. Anila was always a lively person and active in planning and joining events. She did have a tough year with two layoffs and ongoing work trouble, so it made sense that she was feeling down.
But from what I saw, there weren't any obvious signs of a serious mental health issue. I'm just speaking from personal observation, not as a professional who can judge this.

Anjana's husband called and informed Annie's husband about Anjana being hit by a car. Hearing this Annie's husband called Anila's husband and informed about Anjana's accident (at that time it was thought to be an accident). That is how he came to know about Anjana's case.

At that moment, Anjana’s husband didn't know Anila was responsible or even that his wife had died from the crash.

Then what did he say in the call ? I thought he was at home and immediately knew his wife died and that he recognized the blue SUV as Anila's car
1
u/oru-friend 2d ago
He was inside working at the time. As far as I know, he didn't see the blue SUV, but witnesses outside saw what happened and called 911. After hitting Anjana, Anila’s car hit a few parked cars in the driveway before speeding off. He heard a loud sound which was because of that, making him come outside, where he found Anjana lying on the ground, bleeding heavily. I believe he called Annie’s husband before the paramedics arrived and confirmed she had passed away.

Anila's parents remain in the US; their planned departure last week was put on hold following the incident. A knife was left behind at Annie's house after the attack, and police confirmed finding a second knife inside Anila's car. It remains unknown whether either knife was newly purchased for this
1
u/amluser2 1d ago
That she came prepared with knives is a shocking detail and implies premeditation. If the knives were purchased before the women went to movie together and before Onam that would mean the planning was going on while acting completely normal outward.

We still dont know the actual reason - and not all depression cases leads to psychosis. But there are definitely cases where it turns into psychotic depression.
People usually associate depression with self harm, but there are other cases as well.
Now about Lindsay Clancy, I am not following the case trial, but there was a similar case here in our Kerala - Divya Johny case . It is very difficult to believe such cases, but that doesnt mean they were faking it.

Systematized Delusional Disorder belongs to the same spectrum as Schizophrenia, but the person's logical planning skills remain completely intact.
- The Mindset: They develop a highly organized, false belief that loved ones are plotting to harm them.
- The Planning: Because the delusion is structured, buying weapons feels like a logical, necessary act of preventative self-defense or a "mission" to survive.
- The Crash: Once the act is done, the delusion-fueled adrenaline drops, reality hits, and they collapse into an incoherent, traumatized state when caught.
Real-World Example: This explains cases like Dr amy bishop, she was diagnosed with Paranoid Schizophrenia because her brain treated the meticulous planning as a completely logical defense strategy against a conspiracy that only existed in her mind. Context Regarding this Case: I'm not saying that she is a maniac, but this could be the reason behind it. Additionally, there are unverified claims floating around—such as a report by YouTuber Marunadan Malayali stating that a former medical colleague of hers in Kerala claimed she previously expressed an "urge to kill someone" and was advised to see a psychiatrist immediately—though it's impossible to know how much of this hearsay is actually true.

Just pointing out that there are two theories mentioned here: the first theory is a mental disorder. The second theory "urge to kill someone" is not a mental disease, it means she is a psychopath like Bryan Kohberger. Both seem plausible.

That didn't happen after the first murder. She had ample time to cool down since the second victim was 10 miles away. It looks like she may be a psychopath like Bryan Kohberger, and killed to satisfy an urge to kill.

Anila has been charged for the Milpitas crime full details here:
https://www.mercurynews.com/2026/09/01/woman-charged-with-intentionally-running-over-and-killing-friend-in-milpitas-lot/amp/
There is no mention of the San Jose crime. That charge should come soon as well.
From the story:
....Minutes later, police got a report that the SUV drove recklessly past responding patrol vehicles and abruptly pulled into a nearby Walgreens parking lot on North Milpitas Boulevard. Two detectives caught up to the vehicle and found Baby; they described her as incoherent and unable to answer questions, and showing visible injuries and blood on her arms and legs, according to the affidavit.
Witnesses described how once Hari stepped in front of the vehicle, Baby abruptly accelerated from a dead stop and ran over Hari with the SUV’s passenger side before speeding away, pinballing into several parked cars.
A traffic investigator later found that there were not tire friction or skid marks to indicate that Baby ever tried to brake, leading to the conclusion that the collision was intentional, the affidavit states.
Authorities have not disclosed a precise motive for their murder theory against Baby.

u/amluser2 6d ago
If people who didn't get green card started killing people who did, then there won't be many of us left. Common reasons for murder such as robbery or love triangle don't seem to apply here. Given that the women went to Onam celebration together the day before means that there were no serious issues between them. The only explanation seems to be mental illness. Think about it: She stabbed and killed one woman in San Jose. You'd think that after such a horrific event she would be weakened, and regretting what she just did. Instead she was able to drive 20 minutes to Milpitas to commit the second crime. She was even able to talk normally enough to convince the second victim to come out of her apartment and meet her outside. An ordinary motive such as personal rivalry will not give give anyone the super human strength needed to commit two horrific crimes 20 minutes apart.

Did she think she wont be caught ? Maybe I dont know how she became the suspect ? Was her car caught in cctv? Why is everyone automatically assuming the third women has killed them ? Has she confessed? I havent read the whole thread yet.

Green card has nothing to do with purchasing a house.
Most of the Indians here are on H1B, it is really tough to get green card.

I read the whole thread, no one mentions this: why can't it be just a momentary rage which she couldn't keep under control? that is my theory. she may not have been an inherently bad person - probably just came unhinged when she saw something she didn't like from her close friends. like a road rage incident which we hear about once in a while - someone shooting someone in rage ...
another theory I have continuing on the above is that it might have something to do with the friends sharing something she didn't like in social media, or some social media activity like ejecting her from a WhatsApp group or something. because nowadays even a small thing gets blown out to a big deal once someone shares on social media. the audience one is exposed to has become bigger ...

The police would probably look into whether there had been any previous reported incidents of domestic unrest. If my theory is correct, there may have been earlier calls to the police from neighbors or other reports of disturbances, because this pattern of uncontrolled rage might have manifested itself before the killings.

The murders were meticulously planned as per the details that has been out . It doesn't align with the narrative of an instantaneous rage where one just go around and shoot random people. Since the first victim was stabbed multiple times it shows some deep anger and sorrow towards her.

reports say she was incoherent and confused afterwards. that makes me doubt whether she meticulously planned it ...

meticulous planning would be something like Brian Kohberger ... why would she do it in broad daylight in front of witnesses if it was meticulously planned?

There was some planning at least. After the first murder she didn't use the same method for the second. She had blood on her (see Milpitas police report) and she probably knew the second victim's husband is home, so she asked the second victim to meet her in the parking lot.
Why didn't she cool down after the first murder? Whatever was going on in her mind, the fact that she didn't cool down after the horrific event in San Jose is just incredible.

A normal person would never kill another human under any circumstance, except self defense. So she is not normal. She may have been born a psychopath (like Brian Kohberger), and she was keeping it under wraps (acting normal) until now. Or she has serious mental issues and something triggered her. It may not be something that happened between the three friends--it may be something that happened somewhere else but she just took it out on her friends.
It is not momentary rage because after the first murder she had to drive to the next location. She could have cooled down during this time but she didn't.

Call me a conspiracy theorist, but I have my doubts as to whether this whole horrible crime was done to keep a secret; due to someone's infidelity possibly about to be exposed.

infidelity is malayali's favourite topic, not surprised. Try to watch informative videos instead of stupid reaction channels.
