A tip-off by the house owner helped Anjuna police to arrest the accused Minamu Hafusa (22), a Uganda national involved in the murder of the Aldona man on Saturday morning, police informed.
The accused was residing along with some other inmates who were Nigerians at Mudder in Anjuna.
According to a police source, the accused after committing the crime early Friday morning came to her room with blood all over her body.
When questioned, she told her inmates that she had a fight with a man who had suffered injuries.
The next morning, the Nigerians alerted the owner of the house, who in turn informed the Anjuna police about the incident.
“The house owner alerted us that the accused was supposed to come to her room at around 9 am on Saturday. Accordingly, we took our positions and as soon as she arrived we nabbed her,” a police officer who was involved in the arrest informed The Goan.
Incidentally, Calangute police had booked the Ugandan national along with another foreigner for overstaying in March 2019.
Anjuna police later handed over the accused to the Calangute police, in whose jurisdiction the crime occurred, for further investigation.
Senior police officers informed that so far it appeared that only one person was involved in the crime.
Police, however, were yet to the find the motive for the crime.
“We are trying to establish the motive. Investigations are still on. We are studying the CCTV footage,” a senior police official said.
Meanwhile, the post mortem report has attributed the death of the deceased to severe head injury. The deceased was apparently hit on the head with a large stone.
It may be recalled that Calangute police found the dead body of the deceased, Zefferino Barretto of Aldona in Baga on Friday morning.
Calangute police are investigating further.
