MELBOURNE: Australian police on Friday said they may expand their probe to India in search of clues on the brutal murder of a 41-year-old Indian woman in Sydney as they released a new video of a person they want to question in connection with the killing of the IT professional in March.
Prabha Arun Kumar was stabbed in Australia in March.
Prabha Arun Kumar was on the phone to her husband in India, en route to her home from work, when she was stabbed repeatedly in the neck while walking through a public park, just 300 metres from her home, on March 7.
After she was found lying injured, she was moved to hospital, where she died the same night. The Australian police later released a new CCTV footage, hoping to find the killer.
Sydney police is now looking to speak to the person who was seen in the footage walking nearby through Parramatta Golf Course near Jubilee Lane on the night of Prabha Arun Kumar’s murder.
“The person in the footage is the one person we have not been able to identify so far, after months of exhaustive inquiry,” acting inspector Ritchie Sim said.
“Considering the nature of the investigation and because it is Prabha’s home town, it is an obvious line of inquiry,” she added.
A plaque bearing her name will be unveiled on her birthday on November 22.
