Daphtari was alone home after her husband left for work at 10.30 am. He owns a shop. He came back at about 7.30 pm to find her lying in a pool of blood in the bedroom, said senior inspector Suresh Nirmal.

There is a deep cut on her neck and two stab wounds on her hands and another near her shoulder, he said.

Evidence suggests this could be a case of robbery. A murder case has been registered, said Nirmal.

Police said the building did not have CCTV cameras. The couple have three daughters.
