NEW DELHI: A septuagenarian couple was found brutally murdered in their home in northwest Delhi's Kohat Enclave on Tuesday morning, their house ransacked and jewellery stolen, police said. Investigators suspect that their attendant, who is missing, is behind the alleged murders and theft.

Sleuths suspect that the two victims — 71-year-old Mohinder Singh Talwar, and his wife Daljeet Kaur, 70 — were murdered on Sunday night. The attendant, whose identity is yet to be known to the police, was hired only a few days ago, investigators said.

The couple lived on the third floor of a four-storey building in Kohat Enclave, a gated society in Pitampura. Their two sons, Charanpreet Singh Talwar, 50, and Manpreet Singh Talwar, 45, lived with their families in an adjacent building.
