Additional public prosecutor Sardar Harjeet Singh said the accused Kukatla Komuraiah (50), hailing from Somaram village in Saidapur mandal of Karimnagar district, targeted old women who lived alone for their jewellery.
He searched for potential victims while moving around the villages offering to buy old furniture and utensils.
He would then rent a room in a house where a single old woman lived, stay there for some time and move out. After some days he would return to the house, kill the woman by throttling her and rob her jewellery.
Judge D Suresh convicted him and sentenced him to life imprisonment for each murder. All the sentences shall run concurrently, the judge said.
