Panaji: An 85-year-old woman and her son-in-law were found killed at their home at Fatorda in the South Goa district on Monday, a police official said.

Their neighbors spotted the bodies and alerted the police, he said.

The deceased were identified as Catarina Pinto (85) and her son-in-law Minguel Miranda (65), he said.

"The motive behind the killings is not yet known. The police are searching for the killer," the official said, adding that Miranda worked as a contractor.

Local MLA Vijai Sardesai of the Goa Forward Party visited the spot and later claimed the incident was a reflection of the "collapse of law and order" in Goa under the BJP-led government.
