Hyderabad, Jun 24 (PTI) A minor girl and her boyfriend are suspected to be responsible for the murder of her mother (38), who had objected to their relationship, police said on Tuesday.
Police received a call late on Monday and found the woman dead at her house with multiple injuries, including strangulation marks on her neck.
The deceased woman’s sister lodged a complaint, following which a murder case was registered.
The complaint alleged that the woman had opposed her minor daughter’s relationship, which allegedly led the latter to commit the murder, police added.
Preliminary investigation revealed that the minor girl, her boyfriend (an adult), and his minor brother were involved in the crime, he said.
A police officer told a news channel that the girl had left home on June 19 and was handed over to her mother on June 20 after the latter filed a complaint with the police.
This led to differences between the girl and her mother, which eventually resulted in the murder, police added. PTI SJR SJR SSK
