1. Woman kills brother due to property dispute.

   A WOMAN smashed her brother’s head with a hockey stick and then stabbed him to death with the help of her husband and sons in central Delhi late on Wednesday, the police said.

   The murder was allegedly committed over a property dispute.

   The deceased Prem Kumar, 54, used to work as an accountant with an oil company in Khari Baoli.

   The police said he did not get along with his sister’s family.

   Kumar used to live on the ground floor of his ancestral house in Ara Kash Road while his sister Alka used to live on the first floor with her family.

   The two families reportedly were not on talking terms.

   Kumar’s sister Alka was arrested, while her husband Ravi and sons, Varun and Sahil, were on the run, police said.

   The family allegedly rained blows on Kumar after an heated argument and stabbed him several times, the police said.

   “Kumar was not happy with Alka, since she had eloped with Ravi before her marriage. Their family apparently did not approve of the marriage. Alka reconciled with her parents later and came to live in the ancestral house with her family,” said an officer.

   Kumar was however, not happy with the development.

   The two families often argued over minor issues.

   The police said that Alka used to claim ownership of the house and pestered Kumar to shift out of the ground floor.

   At about 10 p.m. on Wednesday, Alka came to Kumar’s house and picked up an argument.

   Her husband and sons reportedly accompanied her.

   “The argument soon turned violent. Alka and her family members picked up a hockey stick and thrashed Kumar. Varun and Sahil then caught hold of a kitchen knife a nd stabbed Kumar on his torso,” said an officer.

   All but Alka managed to flee. Kumar’s family took him to a city hospital where doctors declared him brought dead, police said.

   “We have registered a case and are looking for the other accused,” said an officer
