A 58-year-old woman, wife of a reitred education officer, was found murdered at her residence in Sahibabad area here today, police said.
Lokesh Tyagi, wife of Assistant Basic Education Officer (retd) K P Tyagi, was found lying in a pool of blood at their residence in Satyam Enclave of Sahibabad area, Sahibabad police station SHO, Upender Yadav said.
The murder came to light when Tyagi, who had gone to his village last night, returned home this afternoon around 3.30 pm, the officer said.
