THE SHIVAJI Park police, which is probing the case of a woman who allegedly killed her mother-in-law before committing suicide, has found that the duo would have frequent fights for over a decade. The police has corroborated the statement of the neighbours and husband of the woman and has confirmed that the two women, who used to live in a house in Matunga, had strained relations.
The incident came to light Thursday morning at Jai Hanuman Cooperative society opposite Ruparel college in Matunga when the 14-year-old son of Akshata Kangutkar (42) found the bodies of his mother and grandmother Usha (70) after he woke up around 9am. He called up his father, who alerted the police. It was earlier believed that both women committed suicide. However, post-mortem revealed that Akshata throttled Usha to death before killing herself.
Akshata’s husband in his statement said ever since they got married in 2000, Akshata and Usha were having problems. “We suspect that on Thursday morning they had another major fight that led to Akshata killing Usha before killing herself,” said the police.
