Amravati: A 50-year-old man and a 32-year-old woman were brutally murdered in two separate incidents in the district on Thursday.
Dhamangaon police said a woman, identified as Geeta Revan Ambadare, from Vaibhav Laxminagar locality in Old Dhamangaon was attacked with an axe by an unidentified person in the wee hours of Thursday. The accused also seriously injured her son Ravindra, 11.
In the second incident which took place in Mangaldhan Society under Frezerpura police station, one Ajay Yadav and his five accomplices allegedly killed Kanhaiyya Manik Lidiya, 50, and seriously injured his wife Prabha, 40, and their son Darshan.
Police said that the deceased was a neighbour of Yadav who has a cattle shed there. The dirty water from the shed used to flow towards the house of Lidiya and was causing breeding of mosquitoes. This has led to frequent wordy duels between Lidiya and Yadav.
Lidiya was allegedly attacked by Yadav and his five friends with axes and canes in the shed. When Lidiya’s wife and son rushed to his help, they too were attacked.
Police have registered offence of murder against the six accused who are at large.
