Morena (Madhya Pradesh): A man allegedly killed his sister-in-law with whom he was in a live-in relationship for the past seven years after her husband died. The accused has been arrested, said police.
The accused Banwari, a resident of Jingni village under Mata Basaiya police station, is brother of woman’s husband Charan Singh, according to police.
