Vandana Vijayakumar was found dead in a pool of blood outside her office premises. A knife was found next to her body. Biju was found dead in the living room of Vandana.
Vandana and Biju were both from Kerala. Vandana was working at an advertisement agency in Muscat, capital of Oman.
"Vandana had joined the advertisement agency about 18 months ago. Earlier, she was working in Dubai. Her husband is in Peru and her children, a seven-year-old girl and a two-year-old boy, are in Kerala," her colleague was quoted as saying by the Times of Oman.
Biju, a 35-year-old widower, was a freelancer and was in touch with Vandana following his frequent visits to the office.
"Biju was on a three-month vacation. He had gone to India and came back a few days ago only," the colleagues said.
Both bodies are now being kept in the police mortuary and Vandana's family has been informed about the incident.
"We are in touch with the police and the embassy to repatriate her body back to Kerala. We don't know when it will be done," the colleagues added.
A senior police official confirmed that the incident is being treated as a case of murder and a probe is under way.
An official at the Indian embassy said that they are aware of the incident and are waiting for the police report.
