Police have a suspect in custody after discovering the body of a baby that was abducted from an Upper Merion apartment Monday, according to sources.
Investigators say that 10-month-old Saanvi Venna was found dead, hidden in the gym in the family's apartment complex, the Marquis Apartments, on the 200 block of West Dekalb Pike.
Raghunandan Yandamuri, who also lives in the complex, is in police custody.
Police believe the Yandamuri's initial intention was to kidnap the child and hold her for ransom. Investigators say they found a ransom note in the apartment demanding $50,000.
Saani was abducted Monday from the family's home in the Marquis while in the care of her grandmother, 61-year-old Satyavathi Venna.
The grandmother was found murdered inside the apartment.
Saanvi was suffocated and stuffed into a suitcase before being hidden in the building's gym, according to Montgomery County District Attorney Risa Vetri-Ferman.
Vetri-Ferman confirms Yandamuri will be charged with the murders of both Saanvi and Satyavathi.
The discovery of baby Saanvi's body comes the day after the reward for information leading to her safe return was increased to $50,000.
