Berhampur: In a gruesome incident, an elderly woman was killed after her neighbour pierced a broken beer bottle into her body over a trivial issue at a village in Odisha’s Ganjam district, police said on Monday.
The accused, identifies as Basant Sahu, has surrendered before the police after committing the ghastly act at Tikiripada Sashan under the jurisdiction of Polasara police station on Sunday.
According to sources, Basant happens to be a neighbour of Bipra Sahu and both live with their families in the village. Their children entered into an argument while going for tuition on Sunday and subsequently the family members also had a verbal duel over the issue later in the day.
