Welcome to Our True Crime Podcast’s original “12 Nightmares Before Christmas,” where we discuss a true crime story daily for the days leading up to December 24. Make sure to like, subscribe, and tune in each day.
On the 9th day of our "12 Nightmares before Christmas," our journey takes us to Pune, India, where we encounter twenty-one-year-old Renuka Kiran Shinde. She had just returned to her home, which she shared with her second husband, her son from her first marriage, her mother, Anjanabai, and her younger stepsister, Seema Gavit. Renuka was excited, as the family had long struggled financially and was searching for a way to obtain money quickly. Renuka believed she had a perfect plan, albeit a highly gruesome one, that would eventually earn the three women the infamous title of 'India’s Child Killers.'
