A woman aged 35-40 years was found dead in an abandoned house located behind the Hosakerehalli bus stand in Girinagar, south Bengaluru, on Wednesday.
The body was found after a few people sensed foul smell. They went into the house and called the police. The police suspect the woman was murdered elsewhere four days ago and her body was dumped in the house.
Her body bore stab wounds. The police are waiting for the post-mortem report to ascertain if she was sexually assaulted before being murdered. They are investigating if there is any police complaint about the woman having gone missing.
