Girl Strangles 9-Year-Old Brother After He Objected To Her Talking To A Male Friend

In a shocking incident in India, a teenage girl killed her 9-year-old brother after he objected to her long chats with a friend on the phone.

The girl allegedly strangled him with an earphone cable. The 15-year-old girl dumped the child's body in the storeroom of her house in Rae Bareli in the northern state Uttar Pradesh, according to The Tribune.

The girl used to spend hours talking to a boy on the phone when her parents were not around, the police said. The younger brother had allegedly objected to it several times.

The incident took place last week Thursday but came to light Monday night, the police said.

"The boy spotted his sister talking over the phone and objected to it. It led to a scuffle between the two following which he attacked the girl, but she strangled him using earphone wire," senior police officer Shlok Kumar told the media.

On Thursday night, the local police received a missing report of the boy and immediately launched a search.

"Two days later, a foul smell started emanating and the parents of the girl opened the storeroom of the house to find the body of their son. After this, the victim's father lodged a named FIR against a neighbor who was also detained by the police," Kumar said, The Tribune reported.

During interrogation, it was revealed the person detained in the case was not near the spot of crime. The police then began questioning all family members present in the house on the day of the incident.

"Also, family members were examined as abrasions, cuts and wounds on the body of the boy indicated that a scuffle had taken place between the deceased and the accused," the senior officer said.

When the girl was questioned in front of parents and a child welfare officer, she admitted to killing her brother. The teenage girl was sent to a juvenile home Tuesday, Times Now reported.

"She also said that she didn't want to kill her brother, but he used to complain to parents when she would talk to a male friend," Kumar added.
