SUKKUR: Two sons mercilessly beat their elderly mother with sticks and anvils and caused her serious injuries reportedly at the instigation of their wives in Hayat Khoso village near Tangwani in Kandhkot-Kashmore district on Sunday.

Neighbours told journalists that Misri and Ghumeo Marwari escaped leaving their mother Harko, 70, crying for help when they rushed to her rescue.

They brought her to government hospital Tangwani where she kept crying in agony as she waited for several hours for the medical aid which never materialised. She was later shifted to Sukkur hospital, they said.

They informed police about the incident but by the time they reached the locality the sons had managed to flee, they said.
