The last time her family saw her was around 5:30 p.m. on March 21 when she grabbed her Bible and went upstairs to spend some quiet time in prayer and worship.
Chadarajupalli Subbaravamma was in her mid-50s living in South India when she left Hinduism for Christianity 10 years ago. Ten years later, she was murdered for that decision to trust in Jesus and pursue her new faith.
The elderly woman in her mid-60s was on her terrace reading her Bible and praying–a usual part of her evening routine–when a man climbed the stairs and killed her.
The last time her family saw her was around 5:30 p.m. on March 21 when she grabbed her Bible and went upstairs to spend some quiet time in prayer and worship. About an hour after Subbaravamma went upstairs, her husband Jayaramaiah said he and some neighbors saw a young man climbing the stairs.
Her assailant later confessed that he had killed her because he was angry she had left Hindu gods and had adopted Christian faith. He said that he had been waiting for a chance to kill her, and that day he got the right opportunity.
