In a new twist to the Tangra death case, two brothers, who were undergoing treatment at a city hospital allegedly told police in their statements that they had cut the veins and slit their wives’ throats as well after them getting unconscious.

The alleged revelation put a seal on the post-mortem report of the three deceased female members of the De family from Tangra, which pointed to injuries inflicted on the trio as being “anti-mortem and homicidal” in nature against the alleged theory of suicide.
