A 55-year-old woman and her 27-year-old son were hacked to death in Uttar Pradesh's Jalaun district, police said today.
The villagers, on Saturday, woke up to discover the twin murders, which took place in Baagi village at night.
The deceased -- Munni and Kuldeep -- were found lying on their cots, with several wounds on their bodies inflicted by a sharp-edged weapon, a police official told IANS.
