Three women, including a mother and daughter pair, were arrested for killing a 45-day-old baby boy in Arakkonam near Ranipet over a house dispute.
The police said S. Thenmozhi, 52, K. Bharathi,29, her daughter, and their relative Anu, 37, were the residents of Arakkonam. The mother and daughter were trying to take possession of the house of R. Mano, 29, their relative and a flower vendor after his father’s death. But their plans did not materialise as Mr. Mano and his mother Ilamathi continued to have a hold on the house.
“Thenmozhi’s plans to marry off Bharathi to Mano did not work as he had married another girl from a nearby village. This frustrusted the mother and daughter and they hatched a plan take revenge,” the police said.
