Sixty-seven-year-old Kitty Kumaramangalam was found dead at her Vasant Vihar home in south Delhi. The initial probe found out that she was suffocated to death with a pillow.

Kitty Kumaramangalam was alone at her home accompanied by her house help on Tuesday. At around 9 pm, a washerman (dhobi), who worked for her, barged into the house along with two others with an intent of robbery, police was quoted as saying by NDTV.
