“During questioning, she revealed that her husband would mostly spend time with her second wife and the girl was dearest to him,” he said.
She hatched a conspiracy to eliminate her step-daughter. On a fateful day, she was armed with a sharp-edged knife and took the girl to the nearby forest area. Her 14-year-old son joined her along with his friends and committed the crime.
The SSP said the girl was gang-raped by the accused in presence of her step-mother. They all took turns to rape her and thereafter her step-mother strangulated her, Mir said.http://52.0.24.221/bjp-mla-who-backed-kathua-rape-accused-is-minister-deputy-cm-says-minor-incident/
Detailing the extent of brutality, the SSP said, “While the step-mother strangulated her, the step-brother hit her head with an ax. Another accused gouged out her eyes with a sharp knife and then sprinkled acid on her body parts. Physical condition and preliminary forensic analysis of the body substantiated all these facts”.
