Last night at approximately 9 pm, a 30-year old woman approached Mary Angel regarding the vacant house next door which was available for rent. Mary reportedly took the woman to see the house.
When Mary had not returned home for quite some time, Vijay went over to the vacant house and found Mary Angel's throat slit. Her five sovereign gold chain, earrings and mobile phone had been robbed. Hearing his distressed cries, the neighbors rushed to the spot. The Peelamedu police who were informed immediately, arrived on the scene and began investigation.
Preliminary investigations suggest that a couple had been scouting for a rental house for the past two days. It is most likely that the two could be responsible for the crime. A manhunt has been launched to trace the couple.
