HYDERABAD: An elder woman who was busy cleaning the utensils at home was killed brutally in pure daylight, and the perpetrators — a troop of monkeys. The incident happened in Telangana in Kama Reddy district when the 70-year-old lady was torn apart by the wild monkeys rummaging through the human habitat.

The incident happened when the elder woman was alone at the house. Her daughter was busy attending a wedding that was on the outskirts of the town when the incident happened. A barrel of 20 monkeys barged into her house suddenly. The lady while trying to ward off the mammals fell prey to their attack. She had severe bruises on her neck, head, and leg portion.

The lady made loud cries but the neighborhood in fear never came out for help but restricted themselves in their house closing all rooms. After the sound subdued, the neighbors reached the spot to find the lady soaked in blood. She was rushed to the hospital but the bruises were too serious to be saved.
