Fed Up With Their Violent Behaviour, UP Girl Drugs Parents, Axes Them To Death

MEERUT: After nearly a fortnight since a couple was found axed to death outside their residence in Uttar Pradesh’s Bulandshahr, the police on Tuesday held their 15-year-old daughter for the double murder, to which she has confessed, officials said.

On March 15, the middle- aged couple was found dead while sleeping outside .

In her confession, the teenager girl told the police that she hated the atmosphere at home and “fed up with the violent attitude” of her parents towards her. She said that her mother would frequently beat her up and also had an illicit relationship with a man.

Bulandshahr SSP said Shlok Kumar said, “On questioning, the girl confessed to murdering her parents with an axe after lacing their food with a heavy dose of sleeping pills.”

The police have also arrested the youth who arranged the pills and the shop owner, who sold the pills, under the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances (NDPS) Act.

The police admitted they had a hard time cracking the case as there were no clues. “While checking the mobile phone of a family member, we could find that the minor girl had a communication with a man in December asking him to arrange sleeping pills and he refused,” one of the officers said.

Two days prior to the double murder, she had arranged a pack of 20 sleeping pills. “The girl mixed five tablets in the tea she prepared for her mother and 10 tablets in the milk for her 50-year-old father. The couple used to sleep outside their house while the accused and her younger sister had their beds inside the house,” said the officer.

The police said that on the fateful night, the teen girl scaled the roof of a neighbour’s house with the help of a ladder and came to the front of her house where she killed her parents by repeatedly hitting them with an axe on their heads. They died on the spot and she went back to bed, the police source said.

The girl has been sent to the juvenile home in Bulandshahr, while the two men sent to jail after being produced in a local court. “We have also recovered the axe used for the killings. The weapon was hidden in the heap of fodder in the house,” said the SSP.
