    Why kill old helpless person and rob her gold. take away her gold but do not kill.

    remember if you kill, you will also be killed.

    Old aged parents chose to live alone to escape torture and mental harrassment from their sons and daughter in laws...so that at least they shall have some peace at the end of the day....leaving aged parents alone and insecure makes them soft targets for killers and burglars.. Ungrateful children are indirectly responsible for the murder of their mother. Killers could have taken away her gold sparing her life... No doubt we have lost all ethics and do not the meaning of life..... God will surely punish the culprits. May her soul rest in peace...

    KNOWN DEVIL is better than unknown angel for Robbery. If the house has no gold nobody will attack you.

    Very sad to hear old lady was murdered for the sake of gold. what is the use of giving birth to children who do not take care of them in their old age. Does children think that they dont become old. Today is that lady's day, tomorrow may be our day worst than that.I request all the parents in this world pls do not keep any treasure for the children, rather give to some orphanage and live there peacefull rest of your life.

    Lot of north people (specially from BIHAR)are in mangalore working as a watch man & they understand the arround situation & slowly they invite their own friends & do robery.Also parrents must learn the asset they have they must sell off & join home for the aged instead keeping for uncaring children. It is really waste keeping things to children.
    There are several incidents in mangalore like this. All must engage building security not from north, i insist them to apoint local person with some good fecilities & salory. Also it is advisable to install C.C.camera in most of the buildings & houses & it may make easy to catch culprict. What a sad incident.

    This is due advancement in living standards of modern children.Nobody likes/wishes to live with parents/take parents with them.No.of such cases are on rise in these days.Rocking gold price is the main inducement.No concern for human life nor nor humanity.
    Kaalaaya thasmai namaha.
    May the soul rest in peace.
