An 82-year-old woman was brutally murdered last night by an unknown assailant in the Matunga residence that she shared with her mentally challenged brother. A witness – the victim’s family doctor — saw a stranger lurking inside the house with a bag, and prima facie, the police suspect it was a robbery.
