An old Muslim couple was beaten to death with iron rods and sticks by their neighbours in Uttar Pradesh.
The couple, Abbas and his wife Kamrul Nisha, died on the spot in the attack on Friday and all the accused fled from the spot.
Police say that the murder was allegedly a result of an affair between the victim’s son and the daughter of one of the accused. Sitapur Superintendent of Police Chakresh Mishra said a few years back Abbas’s son had eloped with a girl from the neighbouring household.—INP
