The report added that the old woman’s daughter used to visit her mum twice a week to take care of her but could not come recently because she was taking care of her husband who had been diagnosed with cancer.

As per the report, the wives had refused to take care of the mother. Making matters worse, as far as the brothers were concerned, was seeing that the old woman was left at the mercy of neighbours, it added.
