Bengaluru Woman Murdered, Domestic Help Found Dead in Suspected Suicide After Sexual Assault
A shocking double death case has rocked Bengaluru, where a 65-year-old woman was found murdered inside her residence early Sunday morning. In a tragic twist, the family's domestic help was discovered dead in the same room, with police suspecting it to be a case of suicide following the murder.
Discovery of the Crime Scene
According to Bengaluru police officials, the grim discovery was made when the woman's husband returned home from an international trip. Arriving early Sunday morning, he received no response at the door and called his daughter to let him inside the house.
Upon entering, the husband immediately noticed something was amiss - the domestic help was not in his usual sleeping area. This prompted him to check the bedroom, where he made the horrifying discovery of his wife lying unconscious on the bed with the domestic help's body nearby.
Police Investigation and Preliminary Findings
The husband's screams alerted his daughter, who promptly contacted the police. Local law enforcement arrived swiftly at the scene and transported both bodies for post-mortem examinations to determine the exact causes of death.
In their initial investigation, police noted marks on the victim's neck consistent with strangulation. Medical examiners have orally informed investigators that the woman's body showed signs of sexual assault and that she died due to neck compression.
Suspected Sequence of Events
Investigators believe the domestic help, who was known to consume alcohol heavily, took his own life after realizing the victim had died. The police are currently awaiting the official autopsy report to confirm whether the woman was sexually assaulted before her murder.
A police officer from the local station stated that while preliminary findings suggest sexual assault, they need the formal autopsy results to proceed with appropriate charges and continue their investigation into this tragic incident.
The case has sent shockwaves through the Bengaluru community, highlighting concerns about domestic safety and crime prevention in residential areas. Police continue to investigate all angles of this disturbing case that has left a family devastated and a community searching for answers.
