America
Indian origin woman in US was shot in head
Albany, March 16
An Indian-origin woman found dead at her apartment in the US last week was apparently shot in the head, the media reported.
The
37-year-old Randhir Kaur - a dental student at the University of
California in San Francisco - was shot once in the head at her apartment
on March 8, police said, according to a CBS San Francisco report on
Sunday.
She was reported to have attended prayers at a gurdwara earlier in the day.
When
Kaur did not show up the following day, her colleagues became concerned
and notified a family member who went to her apartment and found her
body, police said.
Detectives found no sign of forced entry into
her apartment or foul play. Kaur's car was found parked and locked at
her residence.
On March 9, police found personal items belonging to Kaur inside a trash receptacle, roughly two miles away from her apartment.
Criminalists
from the Alameda county sheriff's crime laboratory have been called to
assist in the investigation, which police said was a standard practice
for any homicide in the city.
Two additional investigators have
been assigned to the case, bringing the total number of full-time
investigators to six, along with several part-time personnel, police
said.
