80-Year-Old Woman Gets Life for Son-in-Law's Murder
Imagine a grandma who was really angry at her son-in-law.
Back in 2008, she and some family members hurt him badly and set him on fire.
The man was a police officer.
Years later, a judge found the grandma guilty and sent her to jail for the rest of her life.
The man's wife, who was also involved, ran away a long time ago.
The reason behind all this?
The son-in-law was getting threats and being forced to leave his wife.
An 80-year-old woman was sentenced to life in prison for the murder of her son-in-law.

The victim, Aqeel Ahmad, was a Provincial Armed Constabulary (PAC) jawan.
