KANPUR, Sept. 9 -- A woman and her nephew were arrested in Kanpur on Sunday for allegedly murdering her husband ten months ago and hiding the crime, police said. DCP West Dinesh Tripathi said Laxmi, 40, and her nephew Amit, 25, killed her husband, Shivbir Singh, 45, a factory gatekeeper in Panki area, on November 2, 2024. The crime surfaced after the victim's mother, Savitri Devi, grew suspicious of her daughter-in-law's repeated claims that her son had gone to Gujarat for work. Savitri Devi, who had been away, reported her son missing on August 19 this year after finding him absent. Villagers also told police about Laxmi's alleged illicit relationship with Amit. When questioned, Amit confessed that Laxmi served a sedative-laced drink to Shivbir before the duo allegedly hit him on the head with a rod, killing him. They buried the body in a field and later dumped the remains in a canal. Both accused have been booked for murder and remanded in custody. htc...
