He subsequently gained entry through the rear door and found the woman inside the kitchen. He lowered her and shifted her to CHC Canacona with the assistance of a 108 ambulance, where the doctor on duty declared her brought dead.
Police conducted the scene-of-occurrence and inquest panchnamas before referring the body to South Goa District Hospital, Margao, for post-mortem examination.
The police surgeon conducted the autopsy and certified the cause of death as asphyxia resulting from constriction of the neck, with the injury found to be fresh and ante-mortem.
After completion of the necessary procedures, the body was handed over to the deceased’s family members for final religious rites.
The inquiry was conducted by PSI Ajit Velip of Canacona Police Station.
