A 30-year-old man and his father have been arrested for allegedly killing his uncle at Krishnanagar area under Pachamba police station in Giridih here on Thursday night over property, the police said on Friday.
Giridih SDPO, Jit Wahan Oraon, said that the accused Rahul Singh and his father Chandershekhar Singh, a resident of Krishnanagar’s Giridih, have been arrested for allegedly killing with traditional weapons Rahul’s uncle Amar Singh on Thursday night at 10 pm.
The police said that a body was found in his house at Krishnanagar residential colony in Giridih with pool of blood, after which a murder case was registered. The SDPO said that while his family members were being questioned, there were discrepancies in the version of his nephew Rahul Singh and brother Chandrashekhar Singh after which they were detained. Rahul Singh confessed to have killed his uncle during sustained interrogation.
The accused Rahul Singh said that since uncle Amar Singh lived nearby his house separately with his wife and children, they could claim share in their ancestral property. He also regularly assaulted his parents, added Rahul Singh.
