The Goa police have detained two property brokers accused of murdering a 64-year-old woman in her Calangute home due to a financial dispute, a senior official disclosed on Sunday.

The suspects, Aaquib Khalife and Nikhil Raje, were taken into custody at a petrol pump in Anjuna on Saturday, the official revealed.

Khalife, from Ratnagiri (Maharashtra), and Raje, from Pune, allegedly killed Deodita Fernandes over a dispute involving the sale of her Calangute property. The victim was discovered dead in her Naikwado apartment last Friday.
