Three persons, including a woman, were arrested Wednesday for allegedly killing a 59-year-old woman in Rohini’s Sector 16 on April 8, police said.

Police said the accused, Sumit Kumar, Vikas Kumar and the 25-year-old woman, allegedly strangled Geeta and stole Rs 7,000 in cash and some jewellery.

Police said the woman used to work for Geeta as a domestic help and had plotted to rob her to fund a lavish lifestyle. “She wanted to buy an iPhone and visit clubs. She would visit Geeta occasionally and knew she had recently spent money on a wedding, and assumed she would still have money left,” said an officer.
