    A 56-year-old woman from Thane district's Mumbra town allegedly killed her daughter-in-law and the girl's mother as she was upset over her son paying more attention to his wife, police said today.
     
    Rashida Akbarali Wasani yesterday served some sedative-laced food to her daughter-in-law Salma Makdum Wasani (24) and her mother Shamim Latif Sheikh (54), a resident of Kurla in Mumbai, at her home in Mumbra.
     
    After consuming the food, the two victims fell asleep.
     
    Rashida then allegedly pulled out a sharp weapon and hit them with it. She slit their throats and chopped their ears, Police Inspector Sukhada Narkar said.
