A 32-year-old from Kherwadi, Bandra (E), and his sister were arrested yesterday for killing his wife of five years by giving her poison disguised as medicine because she could not give him a baby.

The plan was hatched by the sister-in-law who was also eyeing a property owned by the deceased. On Monday evening, Sairabanu Abdul Salam Sayeed (30) was declared brought dead at the Nagari Suvidha Kendra hospital in Kherwadi by her husband Abdul Salaam Sayeed (32).
