\nThe tragic event took place in Latifabad No 5, Hyderabad, where both women were confined in their portion of the disputed house, with a wall built outside their room\u2019s door to make their escape next to impossible.
\nA police party arrived only after a concerned neighbour alerted them to the vicious incident, which had gone unnoticed by others.
