BHOPAL: A 51-year-old man gave quotation to his daughter-in-law to kill his wife. The incident happened in Rewa of Madhya Pradesh. The police arrested Valmiki Kol and his daughter-in-law Kanchan Kol (25) in the case.

As Valmiki Kol wanted to marry again, he decided to avoid his wife Saroj. As the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law did not get along well, he took advantage of this.

Police said that he paid Rs 4000 to his daughter-in-law to cut the throat of his wife. He also promised to pay her a fixed amount every month. Saroj (50) was found lying dead on July 12.

Valmiki had gone to his relative’s house in Satna on the day of the murder. Kanchan’s husband was also not in the house. She attacked her mother-in-law with an iron utensil. Police said that when she fell unconscious, she slit her throat with the sickle given by her father-in-law.
