75-year-old woman killed during suspected robbery

A 75-year-old woman was found murdered at her house in suburban Goregaon, police said today.

Meeruben Patel, who lived with her 44-year-old son, was alone at home yesterday when unknown persons slit her throat, police said.

Some valuables were missing from the house.

Patel's son found her lying in a pool of blood when he returned home last night.

A case of robbery and murder has been registered.

While robbery seems to be the motive, police are probing other angles too, said an official.
