HYDERABAD: A 16-year-old girl, along with her 19-year-old boyfriend and his younger brother, allegedly murdered her mother at the residence at NLB Nagar in Jeedimetla in Hyderabad on June 23.
According to the kin of the deceased, the Class 10 student, had been in a relationship with the accused youth, whom she met on social media about eight months ago.
