The sister was initially booked on charges of attempt to murder, but after the brother passed away while undergoing treatment at Goa Medical College yesterday evening, the charges against her were changed. 

Goa Prism had earlier reported that the sister – who is mentally ill – attacked her brother, who according to police sources, also had some mental health conditions. The knife used by the sister – a kitchen household knife – has been recovered by the police.

According to the police, the women had constant demands with her mother and brother over her remarriage. Property matters too are included within this case. 

The incident on Sunday night as a result of a scuffle that broke out between the brother and sister over a similar issue.
