Mathura woman allegedly sedates, kills husband with daughter's help
A woman in a town called Mathura in India is accused of doing something very bad to her husband.
Police say she gave her husband milk with sleepy medicine in it.
After he fell asleep, they say she hurt him very badly with a stone.
Her daughter and the daughter's boyfriend are also accused of helping.
Police say the three people then took the husband's body to a forest and burned it.
The body has still not been found, so police are searching.
The husband had been missing since April.
At first, the wife told police her husband was missing, but then she took back her words.
Police think the family argued because the husband did not like the daughter's boyfriend.
Now the three accused people are being questioned by police.
Police say Naina allegedly fed her husband Manoj Soni milk laced with sedatives and crushed his head with a stone.
Her daughter Bhakti and Bhakti's alleged boyfriend Vimal Chaudhary are accused of helping carry the body to a forest near Akrur village, where it was burned and buried.
The body has not been recovered, and search teams have been combing the area for the past three days as of Saturday, Aug 9.
Manoj went missing on April 18; Naina filed and then withdrew a missing-person complaint, and a criminal case was registered in July.
Police suspect the motive was a dispute over the daughter's relationship, which Manoj reportedly opposed.
