Sydney: Indian IT professional Prabha Arun Kumar was on the phone with her husband when she was stabbed just 300 meters from her home in Sydney on Saturday night.
"He stabbed me, chinna (darling)," the 41-year-old reportedly said to her husband Arun Kumar, as the conversation ended abruptly. By the time she was found by a passer-by and taken to hospital, she had lost too much blood and doctors were unable to save her.
"There is nothing to suggest any racial angle to the murder," Indian Consul General Sanjay Sudhir told NDTV on Monday.
