Man tries to strangle own mother to death and tells his young daughter to 'stab her' as wife cheers them on

A man has been filmed by his wife attempting to kill his elderly mother by strangling her as their young daughter looks on. Surendra Vaidya can be seen wrapping a cloth around
his 80-year-old mother Mayawati's face in a desperate bid to stop her breathing.

The old woman struggles against her son and kicks her arms and legs out as she fights to stay alive.

The man's wife who is filming the attack can be heard encouraging him and at one point says: "This woman is so stubborn," as the old lady tries to speak.

The daughter-in-law can also be seen holding the woman's hand to stop her getting up.

The couple's young daughter can also be seen in the footage, with the man telling his child to stab her grandmother in the stomach as she writhes around on the floor.

The woman was luckily saved after a NGO worker who received a tip off and arrived at the home in the Andheri suburb on Mumbai in India, just in time.

The man was arrested amid reports that he had been abusing his mother for many years.

She was taken to hospital and is said to be recovering.

The daughter in law and granddaughter are currently on the run from the authorities. - Mirror
