The father allegedly burned the man’s genitals using heated tongs and strangled him to death.
Furious over the alleged rape of his 14-year-old daughter by a 45-year-old married man, the father called the man to his house on Friday night, treated him to dinner and then tortured him to death, police said. He then went to the police station, surrendered himself and gave police a detailed account on how he tortured and murdered the man.
The 36-year-old reportedly burned the man’s genitals using heated tongs and then strangled him to death. The incident was reported from Northeast Delhi’s Khajuri Khas area on Saturday.
Based on the man’s statement, police said the deceased, a medicine supplier, had allegedly raped the man’s minor daughter two months ago. The father did not approach police fearing “a bad name for his daughter”. “The father called the medicine supplier over to his house saying he wanted to discuss some issue. He served him dinner. After the meal, the father overpowered the man and tied him to a chair
He got heated tongs and burned the supplier’s genitals before strangling him to death. He came to the police station and surrendered himself,” an officer said. The father reportedly gave police a detailed account of how he tortured the man to death. “Based on his statement, we sent a team to the spot and recovered the body. It has been sent for a post-mortem examination and his family has been informed. A case of murder has been registered and the 36-year-old man was arrested,” the officer said.
In his statement, the man told police that two months ago, while he was away at his shop in the area, the medicine supplier had come calling at his house. On finding the minor girl alone at home, he allegedly raped her. He threatened the girl with dire consequences if she spoke about the incident to anyone. Police said the girl, however, told her father about it the same day.
The man also told police that he did not approach them as he feared that neighbours and relatives would blame his daughter for the incident.
Police said the father had been planning the murder since the day he found out about his daughter’s alleged rape. He further told police that he used to get furious whenever he saw the man happy with his family while his daughter was suffering.
Sometimes a man has to do what a man has to do.
Gonna be a bummer if the child lied. Often they tell the truth, but often they make things up when they care about the boy as well.
Fried mountain oysters. Yum.
If she told the truth. Jury nullification tine
And if she lied to protect some boy and father would have been needlessly killed followed by her own dad in jail.
“...the father had been planning the murder since the day he found out about his daughter’s alleged rape.”
One would think that such a well-planned murder would not have ended with “he went to the police station and told them everything.”
Should it be:
The father was allegedly planning the alleged murder since the day he allegedly found out about his daughter’s alleged rape.
Not necessarily. He never intended to evade the law. He did what he needed to then turned himself in.
I agree. I’m reasonably certain that given 2 months to plan, I could come up with something that accomplished the goal (his demise) without placing myself at any significant risk of jail time. Especially if they had not made the rape public and thus there was no known motivation to tie me to him. I’d also be practical enough not to do anything like burning his genitals which would indicate a crime of passion or that it was personal. Hold onto that rage, but don’t give them anything to go on, point them in an entirely different direction.
not if post on free republic that you think you are smart enough to get away with murder
However, I would guess a lot of those are fairly easy cases with witnesses, motive/means/opportunity laid out fairly obviously by people committing crimes in passion, even people that turn themselves in, etc. I haven't been able to find any data on what the clearance/success rate is for premeditated murders - where people actually took their time and made it difficult for investigators.
I was being hypothetical. Murder is of course illegal. I believe planning one is also illegal. While I don't have daughters, I can understand how the father in this case was driven to these extreme measures. In other words, the prosecution would probably reject me as a juror in this kind of case after even just two minutes of selection/questioning.
Note the phrase ‘alleged’. Sorry, but everyone is entitled to a fair trial. This father needs to go to jail for murder, otherwise anyone will be able to accuse anyone of anything and get away with murder.
Not when reporting to her father on the day the traveling salesman visited.
The torture and murder was gross, but no need to call the girl a liar.
Eligible for “Father of the Year” award?
True, but here is the dirty little secret of that statistic: the unsolved murders are always murders committed by strangers; often chance encounters during the commission of other crimes, wrong time/wrong place, etc.
That is why serial killers take so long to catch. They literally have to become so completely predictable to the profilers and the police that they are, in a sense, "known." And even then, they have to make a serious mistake, lose control or have themselves accidentally stumbled upon in flagrante delicto.
On the other hand, you cannot murder someone you know and get away with it. Those crimes are almost always solved.
I am sure if I had a 14 year old daughter and she was raped I have it in me to plan revenge also. I have a feeling that the numbers are even worse because of people convicted that are innocence.
Murder sucks.
A significant fraction of murders are (1) domestic murders in which the jealous/abusive husband/boyfriend/"partner" kills his wife/girlfriend/"partner" or vice versa, (2) bar fights and other arguments in which two people fight over nothing (a perceived insult to their mother, their sports team, their girlfriend, etc.) and it gets out of hand, (3) gang-related disputes over territory or drug transactions, or (4) robberies gone bad.
Most murders are not subtle - 68% of all murders and a much higher proportion of solved murders use firearms. When something goes "bang", people look, and they see who is holding the gun or running away with a gun. Premeditated murders are comparatively rare in solved cases, but it's hard to know what fraction of all murders are premeditated. What we know is that most solved cases are pretty obvious - with witnesses to the bar fight or to the domestic quarrel (almost 50% of solved cases), security camera footage of the robbery (15%) or drug deal (8%) and shooting, and similar strong hints (with another 20% of killers in solved cases well-known to the victim) right at the start of an investigation.
Police are very good at solving these sloppy murders, but not at all good at apparently motiveless murders. If no one knew a father had reason to kill a man he suspected of raping his daughter, and if the father was not seen picking up the rapist just before the disappearance, they would be hard pressed to solve the case.
