A 23-year-old divorcee and her lover allegedly strangled her mother to death at Byadarahalli, near Tavarekere, off Magadi Road. Even if the woman’s screechs drew neighbours’ attention, they could do little to save her as the house was locked from inside.
The incident occurred around 11am on Friday in the west Bangalore locality. The neighbours who were in need of help witnessed the horror through the window as Chaitra and Sridhar strangled Gangambike, 45.
“The onlookers locked the door from outside and alerted police,” Ramanagaram district DySP NM Ramalaingappa said. The duo is in police custody and is being interrogated.
