An octogenarian woman and her 54-year-old nephew were found dead in their Mulund flat on Monday afternoon, the police said.

On March 14, the duo’s house help contacted the landlord, Sandeep Chandratrey, after she noticed a foul smell emanating from the house. Chandratrey was told that his tenants in Uma Society were not opening the door since the past two days. He rushed to the building and immediately informed the Navghar Police.
