ANANTAPUR: A woman attempted to kill a married woman by slitting her throat at Mahatma Gandhi Colony here on Saturday night.
CI Reddeppa said that the accused woman, Reshma, intruded into the house of victim Maheswari (19) and slit her throat in a bid to kill her. Hearing the screams of the victim, the neighbours rushed to the house and shifted her to the government general hospital.
