New Delhi: Two elderly women, residing in two houses in the same colony in Delhi, were stabbed to death by robbers for a few hundred rupees, police said on Tuesday. Three people have been detained.
Shanti Devi, 65, and Reshma Rani, 67, who resided in two houses barely 500 metres apart in sector-3 of west Delhi's Rohini South, were found stabbed to death.
Shanti Devi was stabbed by the robbers around 1.30 am on Tuesday, and died of her injuries in Jaipur Golden Hospital in Rohini.
In the first incident, the robbers entered Shanti Devi's four-storey building and held her hostage at knife point to rob the house. She lived on the ground floor with her husband Bishan Lal, 70, and her younger son Bhimsen, 28, while her four other sons lived on other floors.
