Alleged Kidnapper Claims He "Accidentally" Killed Baby, Grandmother

The man charged in the murder of an infant and her grandmother during a botched kidnapping and ransom scheme, claimed that he killed both victims by accident, according to video released during his court appearance Wednesday.
Yandamuri's defense attorney argued in court that since his client did not mean to kill anyone, first-degree murder should be taken off the table. Prosecutors disagreed however, citing Yandamuri's ransom note as evidence against the attorney's claim.
According to prosecutors, 10 copies of the ransom note were left in the apartment of the Venna family with several references that if they didn't bring $50,000 by 8 p.m. that night that the baby would be killed. Prosecutors say that showed there was intention and premeditation for murder. The judge agreed with the prosecutors and ordered that Yandamuri stand trial on charges of first-degree murder, kidnapping, robbery, theft and abuse of corpse
