Malathi was smothered to death with a pillow in her sleep. The gold jewellery kept inside an almariah and on her, were found missing. Since her three daughters were staying at different places, Malathi was residing alone in the house since many years.

Police sources said Malathi had engaged labourers to undertake repair works in her house. The roof of the house had been removed for repair works. Ashok (38) and Anand Ramappa (28) from Belagavi took advantage of the open roof and entered the woman’s house, since they were aware of the fact that she was alone.
