Teenager has beheaded his pregnant older sister with the help of their mother and they both posed for a selfie with the severed head in the western state of Maharashtra, in India.
Freelanews reports that the deceased Kirti Thore, 19, who was two months pregnant, had eloped in June to marry her college sweetheart, Avinash Thore secretly after her family disapproved of their union because he was poorer than their family,
On Sunday, Kirti’s 17-year-old brother, Sanjay Mote and mother Shobha Mote who had asked to visit her arrived at her home, and she had gone to the kitchen to prepare tea for them when they attacked her from behind.
It was gathered that Shobha, 39, held her daughter’s legs while Sanjay beheaded his sister using a sickle – a curved blade used in agriculture for harvesting crops – before they posed for selfies with her head and showed neighbours.
The teenager and mother later surrendered at the Virgoan police station and are now under arrest.
“The boy seems to have taken inspiration from a Marathi movie. He beheaded his sister in the kitchen while she was preparing tea for him and his mother,” Superintendent of police, Nimit Goyal told Times of India.
“After that, he and the mother took a selfie with the head.”
Goyal said the mobile phone has been seized as part of their investigation, but that Sanjay and his mother Shobha have allegedly deleted the image.
“We will send the cellphone for forensic analysis to recover the picture. It is a crucial piece of evidence,” Goyal said.
According to the Police, Kirti’s husband Avinash was at home when the incident happened. Kirti’s brother allegedly tried to attack his brother-in-law but he managed to escape.
Kailash Prajapati, a police officer in Vaijapur where the murder took place, told NDTV: ‘Her husband, who was ill, was lying in the house. He woke up hearing the sound of falling utensils and rushed to the kitchen.
“The woman’s brother tried to kill him too but he escaped. Later, the brother came out of the house with her head in his hand.
“He then came to the police station and surrendered.”
