Father, son arrested for honour killing
September 18th, 2010 - 11:36 pm ICT by IANSNew Delhi, Sep 18 (IANS) A man and his son have been arrested for murdering a youth, who allegedly had an illicit relationship with the man’s daughter, police said Saturday
Azad, 40 and Monu, 19, were arrested by Delhi Police Thursday for murdering Mahender Singh, 23.
Police Tuesday discovered Mahender’s body, wrapped in a plastic bag, floating in a drain at Haiderpur water treatment plant. Search of the body revealed a voters card, a mobile phone and some other documents with the help of which Mahender’s identity was ascertained.
During investigation at Shanti Nagar where Mahender lived, police received information that the murder might have happened due to Mahender’s relationship with Azad’s daughter, which Azad and his son considered against their “honour”.
“The two accused broke down during interrogation and accepted killing Mahender because they had found him one night in Azad’s daughter’s bedroom. They disclosed that they had beat Mahender up severely and finally hit him with a hammer, at which Mahender fell down unconscious,” a senior police official told IANS.
To make sure he was dead, they strangulated him, loaded his body on a bicycle and dumped him in the canal, the police official added.
Police have recovered the hammer and cycle used in the crime.
