A 56-year-old woman was stabbed to death allegedly by her brother-in-law over a property dispute near Varkala on Sunday.
The deceased was identified as Leenamani of Kalathara. She had been involved in the dispute since her husband Siyad’s death one-and-a-half years ago.
According to the police, Leenamani used to accuse Siyad’s siblings Ahmed, Muhsin and Shaji of attempting to usurp his properties. While she also filed a case in a court, Ahmed shifted to Leenamani’s house along with his family nearly two months ago. Subsequently, the court ordered the police to provide security to the complainant. The police visited her a day ago on the basis of the direction.
