A 21-year-old from Nagpada slit his aunt’s throat on Monday after she asked him to return her money so she could get treatment for tuberculosis. Thanks to the police’s efforts, however, he was brought to book within 24 hours. Shamelessly, he initially lied to cops and said that he had returned the money, and that someone might have killed his aunt while stealing the cash. However, his story unravelled quickly and he finally admitted to the crime.
