RAJKOT: A 76-year-old man was found brutally murdered in his house in Morbi when his family members were away in Goa for a marriage function.
On Friday morning, a neighbour went to the victim Dinesh Mehta's house to give him breakfast. However, he noticed that the door was open and found Mehta lying in a pool of blood. He rushed him to a hospital but Mehta was already dead by then.
Mehta's wife, son, two daughters and their husbands, were expected to return from Goa late on Friday night.
“All items in the house were intact and we did not find anything scattered. We are trying to ascertain if the motive was loot or something else,” said JM Aal, inspector, Morbi A-division police station.
