She can go to the women's desk of every police station near her place and tell the police that she will initiate a complaint for violation of Violence Against Women and their Children (RA 9262). The failure of her husband to give some support to your sister and child constitute an economic violence under the said law while the threat to kill her may constitute psychological violence.
