Canacona police arrived at the scene and conducted a formal inquiry with a team of forensic labs to speed up the investigation.

Perera’s wife had been going to Margao for work for the last two months as due to Corona pandemic, the tourism business was down, but her husband did not think it was right for her to go to work.
For the past two months, there had been constant arguments in the house over the issue of whether the wife could go to work.
Few days before the incident, the two had lodged a complaint against each other at the Canacona police station.
How the murder took place…
After the altercation reached a point of no return, Alfred decided to kill his wife and accordingly, he arranged a pistol.
On Saturday, when his wife was returning home from work, he shot her dead.

More questions than answers…
How did the police find out that the pistol Alfred shot his wife? Was it legal or illegal? Where did he get it from? How long has it been with him? If he had that one pistol, how could he have been such a sharpshooter as he shot from the roof? Because it takes much practice to become a sharpshooter. From whom did he get this practice?
