Chennai, November 4: A 47-year-old man along with his wife allegedly burnt his mother to death as she refused to register her house to his name. Tirunelveli Taluk police arrested the couple on Tuesday for the crime.

The deceased S Arasammal (70) had been living with her son S Annamalai and his wife A Anitha (42) at KTC Nagar, following the demise of her husband Sivasubbu. Police said Arasammal and Anitha used to quarrel often, reported New Indian Express.
