The victim identified as Shagufta Khan, a housewife in her early 40s, was found her lying in a pool of blood with her throat slit by her children this afternoon, Deputy Police Commissioner Balsingh Rajput said.
"Preliminary probe suggested that the accused, who killed her with a knife, was known to her as there was no forced entry into the house. The victim was murdered at about 3 pm at her sixth floor house in Rustom Riviera building at Malad (W)," the DCP added.
