Sister Confesses: Tragic 'Suicide' Was Murder
19 Apr
Summary
- A seven-year-old boy was found hanging, initially suspected as suicide.
- The boy's older sister confessed six days later to strangling him.
- The fatal fight reportedly began over a shared lollipop.
A seven-year-old boy, discovered hanging from a ceiling hook on his home's terrace, was initially presumed to have died by suicide. His family proceeded with the last rites, not initially involving the police. However, doubts about a young child's capacity for suicide persisted within the family.
Six days after the incident, on April 17, the boy's older sister confessed to the crime. She stated that a dispute over a lollipop escalated into a fatal argument. In a fit of rage, she allegedly strangled her younger brother.
To conceal her actions, the girl then used a scarf to hang the unconscious boy from a ceiling hook, intending to make it appear as a suicide. She subsequently raised an alarm to mislead her family. Based on the father's complaint, police registered a murder case and took the girl, an eighth-grader, into judicial protection. The deceased boy was a second-grader and the youngest of five siblings.
