Berhampur: A 62-year-old man and his wife were on Wednesday murdered allegedly by the husband’s younger brother and his family over a long-standing land dispute at a village in Odisha’s Ganjam district, police said.
The assailants attacked the two with a sharp weapon at Somaiguda under Aska police station limits when the two were working in the agricultural field.
The man succumbed due to profuse bleeding on the disputed land while his wife Malla Patra alias Laxmi (50) succumbed to her injuries on the way to a hospital.
