MP: Boy rapes younger sister after watching porn and kills her; mother and two sisters help cover up

Police investigating the April 24 rape and murder of a nine-year-old girl in India’s Rewa state have found that her teenage brother sexually assaulted her after watching a pornographic video on his cellphone and then killed her, with his mother and two older sisters helping to cover it up, an official said.

Police have solved the case and arrested the victim’s 13-year-old brother, her mother and her sisters aged 17 and 18 after questioning 50 people, intensively questioning the accused and presenting evidence based on technical evidence, he said on Saturday.

Giving details of the case, Police Commissioner Vivek Singh said, “On April 24, a nine-year-old girl was raped and strangled to death within the premises of Jawa police station. Subsequently, the police registered the case and initiated an investigation.”

“The victim’s body was recovered from the courtyard of her house where she was sleeping at the time of the incident,” he said.

After intensive interrogation of family members, it came to light that the victim’s 13-year-old brother had slept next to her at night. It was found that the teenager had raped his sister after watching obscene videos on the mobile phone, he said.

When the victim threatened to tell his father, the boy strangled her and later woke up his mother and confided everything to her. She then found that the victim was still alive. Seeing this, the accused strangled her again, Singh said.

Meanwhile, his two older sisters also woke up and changed all their beds before informing the police to mislead the investigation. However, after repeated interrogations, they finally admitted their crime, he said.

Following the arrest of the boy, his two sisters and their mother, further legal action would be taken, the official said.

“Police received information on the morning of April 24 that the girl’s body was found in the courtyard of the house. Evidence of rape and murder was found in the post-mortem report and an SIT team was formed for investigation,” Singh said.

In order to mislead investigators, family members told police that the girl died as a result of a poisonous insect, he said.
