Bengaluru: In what is suspected to be a murder for gain, a 56-year-old home alone woman was found murdered at her residence in Subramanya Layout in Rammurthy Nagar police limits on Monday afternoon.
Rs 2 lakh cash and three gold chains were allegedly stolen from the house. The police and sniffer dog and forensic squads rushed to the spot. The deceased, Bhadrunisa, was a widower and mother of Imam, a small-time businessman. She was staying with her son, daughter-in-law who works at a Montessori and three grandchildren.
Bhadrusina’s son and daughter-in-law were at work, while her grandchildren were in school when she was murdered, between 8.30 am to 12.30 pm, the police said. Imam came home for lunch around 12.30 pm, found the main door of the house open and went in. The house was ransacked and his mother was lying in a pool of blood with multiple injury marks and was also strangled. He called the police control room, who alerted the area police.
“There was no sign of forced entry into the house. Someone known to the victim has committed the crime. There were several injuries on the body which indicates that the victim tried to resist the attempt. We have sent the body for postmortem and are waiting for reports,” said a senior police officer.
