Underage boy rapes and murders his sister after watching porn videos

Bhopal: A 13-year-old boy in Rewa in the Indian state of Madhya Pradesh raped and then strangled his nine-year-old sister to death after she watched pornographic videos on her mobile phone, police said on Saturday.

The shocking revelation came to light as police cracked the three-month-old case on Saturday.

“Police investigations have revealed that the victim’s 13-year-old brother was sleeping next to her on that fateful day. He raped her after watching obscene videos on his mobile phone and strangled her when she threatened to tell her father,” said Vivek Singh, superintendent of police, Rewa district.

According to police, the accused woke up his mother and told her about the incident. His mother then discovered that the victim was still alive.

The accused then strangled her again. His two sisters, aged 17 and 18, also woke up. His mother and two sisters are said to have tampered with evidence to cover up the incident before informing the police.

Police solved the case after questioning about 50 people, including the accused, his mother and two sisters.

The police arrested the accused, his mother and his two sisters for intensive interrogation after becoming suspicious due to the frequent changing of their statements.

Eventually, the defendant, his mother and his two sisters confessed to the crime, police said.

According to Mr Singh, on the morning of April 24, the police received information that the victim was lying in the courtyard of the house.

A case has been registered in connection with the incident.

The post-mortem report suggested that she was raped and then murdered. Later, a special investigation team (SIT) was set up to investigate the incident.

However, the victim’s family members allegedly made up the story that she had died from a snake bite.

Police investigations revealed that no one had entered the house at the time of the incident and therefore a family member may have been involved, police said.
