Teenage girls killed their 70-year-old uncle for assaulting their mother in Kerala

The girls surrendered at the Ambalavayal police station


The shocking news comes from Kerala; two teenage girls allegedly killed their uncle for attempting to rape their mother. The girls told the police that they killed 70-year-old Muhammed, their paternal aunt's husband, for attempting to rape their mother and dumped his body in a well.

 

However, Muhammed’s wife has rejected this claim and has alleged that her brother committed the murder, while his wife and daughters were taking the blame for it.

 

The girls aged 15 and 16, and their mother surrendered before the police in the afternoon, hours after committing the murder.

 

The incident was reported from Aayiram Kolli village under the Ambalavayal police station limit in Wayanad district.

 

Muhammed had two wives and the three of them were living in a small house with the accused woman and her two girls. The accused woman’s husband is Muhammed’s wife’s brother.

 

The siblings told the police that they hacked Muhammed to death when they saw him trying to rape their mother at their home at around 11 am. Later, they chopped his legs and stuffed them in their school bags.

 

They dumped the torso in an abandoned well in their neighbourhood while the legs were dumped in a chemical plant a few km away. The body has been recovered from the well, the police said. An axe and a knife, the weapons used to kill Muhammed, have been found as well.

 

Police said the girls and mother have been arrested and booked under IPC section 302 (murder) read with 34 (common intention).
