A 32-year-old housewife breathed her last in front of her two young daughters after a friend of hers stabbed her in the neck to rob valuables from her home yesterday afternoon.

The victim has been identified as Shagufta Khan (32), a resident of Rustomjee apartments at Marve Road, Malad west. Her husband, Sonu Jhalam, is a businessman who stays in Australia for work most of the time, and the couple has two daughters — Chiku (5) and Riya (11).
