It may be recalled that noted perfume specialist, Monica Ghurde (39) was found murdered in her flat at Jasmine Apartment of Sapna Raj Valley Residential Complex at Bella Vista in Sangolda on October 6. The body was found semi-nude in the bedroom with hands tied to the headrest of the bed.
Ghurde, who hailed from Nagpur, had married a photographer from Chennai, Bharat Ram Amruthan (58) in 2004 and due to personal disputes, Ghurde had started staying separately in the rented flat in Sangolda.
Four days after Ghurde was found murdered, Goa Police tracked down the alleged killer, Rajkumar Singh (21) and arrested him from a hotel in Bengaluru. Singh, who hailed from Punjab, was a security guard and had worked in a building complex where Ghurde stayed earlier.
