Anita, whose husband had committed suicide about four years ago, and Shiv Kumar (30) were hacked to death in her house yesterday by four people, including her brother-in-law, police said.
Atul (9) son of the widow, who was in the house at the time of the incident, later told police that his grandfather and uncle had killed his mother.
