The Mapusa police inspector, Mr Sammy Tavares said the lady lived in Muddawaddo, Canca-Tivim and was alone at home last night. She was bludgeoned to death with a very heavy hammer. Such was the force used by the unknown assailant, that the forehead portion of her skull and eye was completely shattered. Her gold chain and ear-rings, worth about Rs 6000 are reported missing. Police also found the bedroom cupboard ransacked.
Police have learnt that the deceased was at her neighbour's house from 6 till 8 p.m. yesterday and went home afterwards. Around 9 a.m. today morning another neighbourhood lady went to buy coconuts from her and found the front door locked from inside. Other neighbours who gathered saw that the rear door was ajar and on entering found her lying in a pool of blood on her mat.
The hammer used to kill her was found close by. Police said the assailant entered the house by removing the roof tiles of the kitchen which is very low. The murderer left through the rear door.
Normally, the deceased lady lived with her married daughter and her son-in-law Mr Ashok Ramchandra Mayenkar from Mulgaon, Bicholim. But the couple had gone to Mulgaon due to Ganesh celebrations. The lady's other daughter is married in Siolim.
The police dog squad traced the murderer's scent upto the Tivim railway station about one-and-half kilometre from the house. Finger print experts were also called in. Mr Devendra Verma, the superintendent of police (SP), North Goa and Bicholim deputy superintendent of police (DySP) Mr M K Dessai visited the scene of crime today along with the investigating officer of this case, the Mapusa police inspector, Mr Sammy Tavares. --------------------------------------------- The Navhind Times 30/8/03 page 1 ---------------------------------------------
