Police are hunting for the killer of a 71-year-old man after he was found with his throat slit inside his home this week.
Cops were called to the house in Jani Street, Bella Donna Estate, Blue Downs on October 20 just after 12.30pm.
Shocked neighbours told the Daily Voice on Tuesday that the man had been renting the house with two adults and two children and they are still puzzled by what happened.
