HYDERABAD: A 19-year-old girl strangled her mother to death with the help of her lover at their house in Chintalmet, Rajendranagar on Monday night. The girl allegedly killed her mother as she refused to allow her to marry her boyfriend.
The deceased, Yadamma, 45, was a daily wage worker and her husband is a labourer.
According to police, Nandini, who is a school dropout, was in love with Ram Kumar, 19, an unemployed youth from the neighbourhood. “Nandini used to meet Ram Kumar secretly and when she sought her parents’ consent to marry him, they refused to give her permission and later Yadamma reprimanded Nandini for secretly meeting him,” the inspector said.
On Monday evening, when Nandini was with Ram Kumar at her house, Yadamma came home. Kumar fled from the house and Yadamma admonished Nandini for meeting Kumar. “Nandini informed Kumar about the incident and they decided to kill Yadamma. As per the plan, Kumar came to her house and they strangled Yadamma to death with a stole,” the inspector said.
The incident came to light when Yadaiah came home at night.
Police shifted the body for post-mortem and took the accused into custody on Tuesday.
