According to eyewitnesses, the brothers, aged 25 and 30, were seen arguing and behaving erratically before setting the house on fire. Neighbors attempted to rescue the mother, but unfortunately, she succumbed to her injuries.
The brothers were arrested by the police and are currently undergoing treatment at a psychiatric hospital. The police have launched an investigation into the incident, and the brothers will be charged with murder and arson once they are deemed fit to stand trial.
