A senior couple residing in Khar West were found murdered in their home on Thursday morning. The Khar police have brought in one of their house helps for interrogation. Meanwhile, a team of cops is bringing the main suspects, another maid and her boyfriend, back from Rajasthan for allegedly robbing and murdering the couple, identified as Nanak Gopaldas Makhijani, 85, and his wife Daya Makhijani, 80.

Sources said the couple was in dire need of money, as the help's boyfriend was unemployed. They allegedly hatched a plan to rob the couple on the night of June 20. After completing her chores, the help waited till the victims went to sleep. Soon after, she let her partner into the house and they began robbing it. While they were in the middle of it, the sound awakened Nanak. Fearing they'd be caught, her partner strangulated Nanak and Daya to death. The couple then stole a few ornaments and escaped from the spot.
