A parallel investigation found the bodies of two children near a bridge in Nizamabad district who were related to the deceased women, police said.
A senior police official told PTI that they are working on some clues.
"We took up the investigation after a woman's burnt body was found in Kamareddy district on December 14. There were three other undetected murder cases -- one in Medak and two in Nizamabad districts reported recently and we are investigating. We are trying to connect if there was any common motive. After collecting more details we can say something conclusively," the official said.
Some relatives of the deceased said the whereabouts of the parents of the two children were not known and suspected that they were too murdered. They said the house was found locked in Kamareddy district.
"We came to know about the murders today from the police. There was some property dispute after the father of the children transferred the property to the name of a friend who refused to return it. This might have led to the murders," the relatives said.
