Teen Kills Aunt Over Slow Smart TV
18 Feb
Summary
- A 15-year-old boy fatally attacked his aunt with a bamboo stick.
- The dispute began over a slow-starting smart TV.
- The boy and a friend attempted to hide the body and evidence.
A shocking incident unfolded in Vasai, Maharashtra, where a 15-year-old boy allegedly murdered his 60-year-old aunt, Durga Bansod, with a bamboo stick. The motive for the brutal act appears to be a trivial dispute over a smart TV buffering and the victim scolding the nephew about his studies. The boy, reportedly enraged, struck his aunt multiple times, causing fatal head injuries.
Following the attack, the minor allegedly sought assistance from a 15-year-old friend to dispose of the body and destroy evidence. They reportedly broke the victim's mobile phones to prevent communication and hid her body under a sofa-cum-bed. The crime came to light when the victim's daughter, unable to contact her mother, alerted her brother, who discovered the grisly scene and informed the police.
Police intervention led to the recovery of the body and the detention of both minors. During interrogation, the nephew confessed to the murder. The investigation is ongoing as authorities piece together the full sequence of events surrounding this tragic and preventable crime.
