The body of the lawyer was found in her bedroom on Friday morning.
According to the detectives, the incident was confirmed by the lawyer's house help, who became suspicious that her employer was not awake at 10am.
“The house help grew suspicious when by 10am, her employer hadn’t woken up. She went to her bedroom only to find her body on the bed with bloody bruises.”
The suspect is in police custody and will be arraigned once investigations are completed.
