A woman in Rajasthan has been arrested for murdering her 13-year-old twin sons after her lover refused to accept the children from her first marriage, police said on Tuesday night.
The bodies of the twins were found in a field in Rajasthan’s Deeg district, with police arresting their mother within six hours of launching the murder investigation. The incident took place on Dussehra.
According to police, the woman’s husband had died some time ago, after which she began living at her parental home with her children.
She later developed a romantic relationship with a man living in the neighbourhood, but he reportedly refused to accept the children from her first marriage and declined to marry her.
Police suspect this rejection may have led her to kill her two sons. The woman has been arrested and is being questioned, while investigators are probing the possible involvement of others in the crime.
POLICE ZERO IN ON SUSPECT WITHIN SIX HOURS
The crime came to light on Dussehra morning when police received information about the bodies of two children in the village.
Senior police officers, including the Circle Officer and Additional Superintendent of Police, rushed to the spot.
Superintendent of Police Sharan Gopinath said police secured the crime scene as a large crowd gathered at the spot, making it challenging to maintain law and order while preserving evidence.
A dog squad, a Forensic Science Laboratory (FSL) team and a Mobile Officer of Investigation (MOB) team were called in to collect evidence. Police also formed multiple teams and launched an intensive search of the surrounding fields.
After six hours of investigation, officers found a crucial lead that helped them identify the suspected perpetrator and establish details about where and how the crime had taken place.
SP Gopinath said the children's mother had been arrested and that police were questioning other people suspected of involvement in the alleged conspiracy.
Police said preliminary findings and evidence point to the crime having been committed inside the house. The suspected murder weapon, clothes and other material evidence have been secured for further examination.
The boys’ bodies underwent post-mortem examinations by a medical board. Their last rites are to be performed, while an FIR is being registered based on the family’s complaint. Further investigation is underway.
