Puttur: In a shocking incident, a woman was brutally stabbed to death in broad daylight in the front yard of her residence in Kampa in Mundoor here on January 17. After stabbing the woman, the assailant fled from the spot, sources said.
The victim has been identified as Jayashree (23), daughter of the late Guruva.
The attack took place at around 11.30 AM when the girl was alone at the house.
