Two young men who were hooked on booze and women murdered their friend's mother to steal gold and cash from her house in Chennai, Tamil Nadu, to pay for a prostitute, reported Makkal Osai.
Police who arrested P. Suresh, 26, and V. Sathish, 22 over the murder of 46-year-old Gnanasoundari were shocked when they learnt that the men had failed in two earlier attempts to kill her.
They strangled her with a skipping rope, then ransacked the house and fled with jewellery and RM86,000 (S$34,286) in cash on Tuesday night.
After committing the crime, both got drunk and bragged to their friends about what they had done.
One of their friends tipped off the police.
