A 39-year-old man was arrested by the Byculla police on Tuesday for allegedly beating his 65-year-old aunt to death after an argument over a loan taken by his brother. The deceased Santhan Fernandez stayed with her nephew, Antony Fernandez, and his wife, Archana, 36, Ghodapdeo. As per police, Antony, the accused, came home drunk on Tuesday morning and started arguing with his aunt. He then hit and abused her over a couple of hours till she fell unconscious. She had even made calls to her relatives for help, but thinking it was the accused’s usual quarrel, nobody came forward.
