The Hyderabad man who stabbed his girlfriend and slashed her throat at a London restaurant in 2022 searched how to “kill a human instantly with a knife”, authorities probing the case who had access to his online search history said.

Sriram Ambarla, 25, attacked his ex-girlfriend Sona Biju, 23, inside the London restaurant where she was employed after giving her repeated threats saying that he would murder her if she did not agree to marry him.

Biju reportedly responded by saying that she “did not want to live by his rules”. Moments later Ambarla grabbed her by the neck and started to stab her. Fortunately, Biju survived the attack but spent a month hospitalised in a critical condition.

Ambarla was pronounced guilty and sentenced to 16 years in jail in London. Ambarla told cops that he acted in the way he did because he apparently overheard her talking about wanting to celebrate the breakup.

During the hearing, prosecutors told the court that moments before Ambarla attacked Biju, he searched “What happens if a foreigner murders someone in the UK”, “How easy is it to kill someone with a knife” and “How to kill a human instantly with a knife” online.

Biju and Ambarla were dating since 2017 after they met a a Hyderabad college. The attack came after Ambarla manipulated and physically and mentally abused her for several years.

As the relationship turned abusive, they split in 2019, but despite that Ambarla kept threatening her with self-harm to control her. Biju said that he would appear unannounced to her house and used to blackmail her to marry him.

Both of them moved to the UK in 2022 to pursue a master’s degree at the University of East London but the abuse continued. He used to dial the restaurant regularly to order food hoping it would be Biju who would deliver it to his house or to speak to her.

One day he visited the restaurant and Biju served him like she would serve any other patron. She told law enforcement that she noticed Ambarla was looking through his phone in an unsettling manner.

He approached her moments later and repeated his offer to marry her, warning that he would kill her if she refused. Biju refused and a few moments later Ambarla took out a knife and stabbed her repeatedly.
