Mangaluru, Feb 20: The mortal remains of a home alone woman were found in decomposed state in the kitchen of her house at Deradka near Harekala on the outskirts of the city.

The deceased is identified as Maggi Monteiro (62), wife of Jeeni D’Souza, a resident of Deradka, Harekala.

The daughter of deceased woman had visited mother on February 16 and left. After the visit, when her mother did not pick up the phone for three days, the daughter visited the house again and saw the mortal remains of her mother in decomposed state lying in the kitchen near the stove.

Konaje police suspect that the woman must have fallen due to sickness and received head injury and died. Maggi Monteiro was not communicating with the locals and was living alone on three acres of land and a house. Her only son was also not staying with the mother. When she used to speak rarely with locals, she used to speak about Guliga daiva as per the reactions of locals on her death.

Konaje police have registered a case and are probing further.
