Elderly woman killed by caretaker couple in Guwahati
In Guwahati's Kharghuli area, 72-year-old Bandana Das was found murdered in her home.
She had been living alone after her husband's passing and was cared for by a couple residing on the same premises.
On Wednesday morning, the caretaker's wife discovered Bandana with a fatal neck wound and quickly alerted her brother nearby.
Caretaker found with an injury
Police found a sharp weapon, identified as either a sickle or scissors, at the scene and noticed an injury on the caretaker, Ratul Das.
After questioning, Ratul confessed to stabbing Bandana, saying he acted out of frustration over her repeated verbal abuse toward his family.
Both Ratul and his wife have been arrested as police continue to gather evidence with help from forensic experts and CID officers.
Formal charges are still pending as the investigation moves forward.
