Tasneem Diwan, a 45 year-old woman from East Windsor, New Jersey, was charged last week with alleged murder of her 73-year-old mother-in-law on Jan. 26.
The elderly woman, according to autopsy reports quoted by WPVI TV of Philadelphia, was killed by blunt force trauma to the head. Her body was found on the evening of Jan. 26 in her home on Mozart Court in East Windsor, New Jersey.
Reports did not say the possible motive for the murder. Tasneem Diwan was seen late Jan. 29 in the bus terminal area of the Tropicana casino in Atlantic City, New Jersey where she was detained by security officers and Atlantic City police. She was transported back to Windsor for investigation by Mercer County Homicide Task Force.
Dr. Nauman Diwan, the victim’s son and the woman’s husband, is a local internist, reports said. ABC Action News quoted neighbor Dan McDonough as saying that he knew that they are a nice family although he did not them much. Sources told ABC Action News that Tasneem Diwan suffers from mental health issues, something her neighbors said they were unaware of.
“Nothing that I saw that made me think they are anything but a nice, normal American family living here in the suburbs,” McDonough was quoted as saying.
Diwan is charged with one count of murder, one count of possession of a weapon for an unlawful purpose and one count of unlawful possession of a weapon.
Reports said Diwan’s bail was set at $1 million. At press time no court date has been scheduled.
