Woman murdered A woman was found murdered at her residence in Amani Byrathi Khane in Hennur Bande on Friday night.

The deceased was identified as Sonjita (21), native of West Bengal. She was residing with her husband Gangabagadi, carpenter, in a rented house belonging to one Iqbal.

Gangabagadi left home in the morning to go to work. When he returned home at night with his colleagues, he found the front door ajar. On entering the house, he found his wife’s body on the floor with the throat slit. Gangabagadi immediately alerted the house owner Iqbal, resident of Shivajinagar, and lodged a complaint with the Hennur police.

According to the police, said that Gangabagadi and his family had settled in the city a year ago. Previously residing in Varthur, they had moved to Hennur five days back. The police said that nothing was stolen from the house and suspect that the assailant could have been known to the victim.
