Mumbai woman kills son to save daughterinlaw

MUMBAI: To save her daughter-inlaw from her son’s beatings, a 45-year-old woman allegedly strangled him to death at Mankhurd on Tuesday. Anwari Idrisi, who was arrested the following day, stayed with the son’s body for the entire night, said police.

Mankhurd police said Nadeem Naim, 25, lived with his mother, wife, two elder brothers and their wives in Ambedkar chawl. Around two years ago, Nadeem married an Allahabad woman who was unaware of his addiction to drugs. Fed up with his addiction and beatings, the wife left her in-laws’ house after five months. The police said that Anwari did not want her daughter-in-law to leave. She convinced her that Nadeem would not beat her again and leave drugs, the police said. She also said next time he tried to beat her she would save her.
