A father is facing murder charges after he admitted to police that he tortured and killed a 45-year-old man that allegedly raped and impregnated his 14-year-old daughter.
According to The Indian Express, the 36-year-old father in India said he didn’t mean to kill the man saying, “I burned his genitals once, he screamed. I did it again, he shuddered. When I did it the third time..he did not move. He was dead…I did not want to kill him.”
The father told police that his daughter had allegedly been raped two months ago by a medicine supplier that came to his home. The minor girl was by herself at the home when the alleged rape took place. The father said he didn’t go to police for fear that his daughter may be blamed for the incident.
“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,” an officer said. After the man was dead the father went to the police station and confessed to the crime.
