Twist to Nachinola murder Father slit daughter's neck with chopper Mom, sister-in-law attacked with knives HERALD CORRESPONDENT MAPUSA, AUG 5 - In a shocking twist to the murder of Perpetua Cardozo at Nachinola on Tuesday night, Mapusa police arrested her parents after Perpetua's sister-in-law broke down and confessed that Perpetua's own parents also allegedly played their part in their daughter's death. Mapusa police arrested Rosario Fernandes (61) and Terezinha Fernandes (58) in connection with their daughter's murder after Perpetua's sister-in-law Apolonia Fernandes, who was arrested on Thursday, told police that Rosario cut his daughter's neck with a chopper, while Terezinha and herself (Apolonia) attacked Perpetua with knives. DySP Waman Tari and PI Sandesh Chodankar disclosed that on that fateful Tuesday night, Perpetua's parents left her residence as usual at 10.30 pm. However, around midnight, they returned along with Apolonia and murdered Perpetua. Police further informed that broken pieces of red-coloured bangles were found under the body of Perpetua. The bangles match with those worn by the deceased's mother Terezinha. The police also claimed to have seen bloodstains on the clothes of Rosario. Though the exact motive behind the murder has not yet been established, the police put it as an enmity between the accused and the deceased. There were several police complaints and counter-complaints between the accused and the deceased. Police have recovered three gold chains, three rings, a pair of earrings, a bracelet and a pair of bangles hidden by Terezinha on her person. All three accused have been remanded to four days police custody. -----
