SIOLIM: An 85-year-old woman, who had reportedly been missing since November 7, was found dead on the open terrace of a building at Tarchibhat, Siolim, Bardez, on November 9.
According to police, Robot 17 staff received information from the Panaji Police Control Room at around 9.46 am on November 9, informing them that police assistance was required at Siolim.
Accordingly, PSI Amir Taral and LPC 8886 visited the spot at Tarchibhat, where they found the body of Mrs. Shevanta Mane, wife of Vithoba Mane, a resident of H.No. 928, Tarchibhat, Siolim, lying on the open terrace of K.B. Enclave building.
Her son, Narayan Mane, identified the body. He informed police that his mother had been missing since November 7 after leaving home without informing anyone.
