AP's woman software engineer found dead in Washington
Hyderabad (PTI): Close on the heels of killing of two professional students in September, an Indian woman software engineer from Andhra Pradesh was found dead in the United States a few days ago.
Arpana Jinaga, 24, was found dead in Washington in the early hours (IST) of Saturday, her father Basavraj C Jinaga, told reporters on Tuesday.
"Last night, we got to know that she is no more. We don't know how she was killed. We only came to know that she is no more. We are in a state of shock," Jinaga, a professor in the city-based Jawaharlal Nehru Technological University (JNTU), said.
Arpana Jinaga, a software engineer, was living at Redmond, Washington and was working with EMC Corpration at Seattle since 2007.
She completed her engineering from a city-based private engineering college in 2005 and later did MS in Embedded Systems from a University in New Jersey.
Jinaga's father, Basavraj C Jinaga, heads the School of Information Technology of the JNTU.
Arpana's father received a call at 2 am on Tuesday from US stating that Arpana was found dead at her residence with the door of the house broken and the local police was immediately informed about the incident, family sources told PTI.
Arpana used to phone her parents regularly and had last spoken on Thursday, informing that she was attending a party on Friday.

We never had the chance to meet, but reading your story left an imprint on my heart. You seemed to have lead a happy and healthy life. I kept asking myself what made this monster choose you? No one deserves what happened to you. I'm happy he is being brought to justice. I don't know that jail time makes anyone who was hurt by your death feel any better, but I believe it will help them to know the man responsible is no longer a free man. I'm sorry none of your loved ones got the chance to see your smile one last time, they didn't touch your head or kiss your face. I know your family is proud of you and the beautiful person that you were. I believe in the power of God and I know he is watching over us all. God bless your family, God bless you and I hope your story lives on so that this doesn't have to happen to anyone else.
Justice has finally been served!
