Eyewitness in murder case killed in UP

A 26-year-old woman, an eyewitness to her sister's murder, was killed after her throat was allegedly slit in a village in Shamli district, police said today.
Fatima's mother, Shamsi, was seriously injured in the attack in their home in Chosana village under Jhinjhana Police Station yesterday, SHO Bhagat Singh said.
A case has been registered against five people and all the accused have been arrested, Singh said.
According to an FIR, five men attacked Fatima and her mother, he said.
In June, Fatima's brother-in-law allegedly killed his wife and two children by driving the car they were travelling in into a canal. Fatima was also in the car. Both Fatima and her brother-in-law managed to escape.

Her brother-in-law, who is in jail, had been trying to force her to withdraw the case against him but she had refused, police said.
