99-year-old woman robbed, killed
Joginder Kaur, the victim, lived alone in Bham village, Chabbewal. On Wednesday evening, someone found her body in the trunk, with clear injuries to her head.
Police have named Daniel, a resident, as the main suspect. Right now, he’s on the run.
The whole thing came to light when the man who delivers her milk each evening noticed the bottle from the day before was still sitting at her door. That never happened. He got worried and told the neighbours.
People from the village searched her house and found her body inside the trunk.
Police say their initial investigation shows Daniel broke in to steal from her and ended up killing her during the robbery.
They’ve registered a case against him under Sections 103 (punishment for murder) and 331(3) (lurking house-trespass or house-breaking to commit an offence) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita.
