A 72-year-old Irish woman was found dead at a farmhouse in Nedungavadi village, near Sathanur dam, in Tiruvannamalai.
The police said on July 23, Arna Lousarti was found dead in her home by K. Hari, 28, a local man who supplied groceries to her every Sunday. He contacted the victim’s brother Edward in Ireland, who reportedly asked him to bury the body as nobody from his family would be able to come to India. According to his wishes, Arna was laid to rest in the farmhouse.
The incident came to light when Mr. Hari went to the local village administrative officer (VAO) to get nod for Arna’s death certificate. The VAO immediately alerted the Sathanur dam police and revenue officials, who rushed to the spot.
