A 40-year-old woman in Uttar Pradesh has been arrested along with her daughter and the daughter's boyfriend for allegedly murdering her husband, police said on Saturday. The accused are said to have sedated 42-year-old Manoj Soni, then crushed his head with a stone at their home in Agra. They are accused of burning and burying the body in a forest near the Yamuna river, though police have not yet found the remains after three days of searching. The victim had disapproved of his daughter's relationship. After Manoj went missing on 18 April, his wife Naina filed a missing report but withdrew it the next day. The brother later filed a complaint, and the case reached the chief minister's portal. Police detained the three on Friday. Naina’s father reportedly confronted her, leading to a confession that she fed her husband sedated milk before the attack.
