Vasant Vihar triple murder may have been carried out by duo known to nursing attendant: Police

Police Monday said the killing of an elderly couple and their attendant in southwest Delhi's Vasant Vihar might have been carried out by a man and a woman known to the attendant.

It is also suspected that the accused had come with an intention to harm the nursing attendant, but ended up killing the couple to eliminate witnesses, they said.

The bodies of the elderly couple, Vishnu Mathur (78) and Shashi Mathur (75), and their nursing attendant, Khushbu Nautiyal (24), were found with their throats slit on Sunday morning.

According to police, the accused are believed to be acquaintances of the nursing attendant and she facilitated their entry into the house.

"We have very strong clues that the friendly entry was facilitated from the side of the nursing attendant," a senior police officer said.

The CCTV camera captures the movement of a man and a woman close to midnight.

Fifteen teams have been formed to trace the accused involved in the killing. So far, four suspects have been detained ..
