Sisters kill brother in property dispute

Two sisters killed their brother over a property dispute in a posh residential colony in Delhi on Monday night. The sisters rained blows on Pradeep Dubey with lathis and hit him repeatedly with stones killing him on the spot.

The sisters -- Sunita, a divorcee, and Sadhana, a practising lawyer -- were arrested on Tuesday. Both stayed in their father's house - a retired government servant - with their three brothers.

After Pradeep's wife divorced him, he had got into the habit of coming home drunk and quarrelling with his two sisters, police said.

On Monday night he came home drunk and picked up a fight with the two sisters leading to the assault.

The sisters in their statement said Pradeep tried to molest them.
