A 30-year-old woman was found dead inside her house in broad daylight in this district on Tuesday, police said. The police rushed to the scene near Venjaramoodu after receiving information and found Athira, 30, the wife of a priest working at a nearby temple, lifeless.
Police believe the incident occurred sometime after her husband left for the temple at 5 am. They suspect a young man from Ernakulam, who had befriended Athira through a social media platform, could be involved. The man reportedly visited her house after her husband left for work.
There are no CCTV cameras near her house in Kadinamkulam, and police are investigating to locate the suspect, who reportedly fled on the woman's scooter. Athira was a homemaker and is survived by her eight-year-old son.
