Mangaluru: The detectives investigating Mangalorean techie Prabha Kumar’s murder case are looking at the possibility whether someone from her native India had organised the murder.

Prabha Kumar(41), was fatally stabbed as she was speaking to her husband on her mobile phone after she got off the train at Parramatta on March 7 last year.

The detectives have combed through details of Prabha Kumar’s personal life, including speaking with her relatives in India, to find clues that would lead them to her killer.

“We have considered the possibility that an offender had (helped commit or been involved with) this crime outside of Australia,” Detective Sergeant Ritchie Sim told Fairfax Media.

While detectives weigh up the theory someone in a country 10,000 kilometres away had a hand in her death, they are confident Mrs Kumar did not know the person who actually ended her life.

“There is no information that we are aware of that indicates she knew who the attacker was. We are considering the possibility that the offender is still in Australia as well as the possibility the offender has left Australia,” Sergeant Sim said.

As the one year anniversary of Mrs Kumar’s death approaches, it can be revealed police have spoken with more than 2000 people and collected almost 250 statements as part of the investigation. Every resident in the Parramatta Park area who was home that night has been spoken to and the area has been canvassed as many as four times.
However, a murder weapon has never been found.

The one helpful piece of CCTV footage, which captures an unidentified figure walking through the Parramatta Golf Course on the night of March 7 is grainy and dark.
