Daughter Strangles Mother With Karate Belt
A 15-year-old girl allegedly strangled her mother to death with a karate belt after being scolded over her studies in Navi Mumbai.
In Airoli, Navi Mumbai, the parents of a 15 year old girl wanted their daughter to become a doctor. They even enrolled her for classes for the NEET which is a medical entrance exam. But, the girl did not want to pursue a medical course and because of this she and her 40-year-old mother used to have frequent quarrels. On July 27, the girl's father had scolded her for playing with her mobile phone, following which she left the house and went to her uncle's place nearby. Her mother went there and called her back, after which the girl told her she was fed up with the harassment over studies. The girl then went to the police station to file a complaint against her parents. The police personnel at the police station counselled both of them. On July 30, the girl informed the police that her mother fell and died. Shocked over this, the police started their investigation. The mother’s body was sent for postmortem and the report revealed that the woman was strangled to death. The police became very suspicious and called the full family for questioning. The police then realised the girl might be connected to the mother’s death.
During questioning, the girl confessed to killing her mother. She said that her mother again started scolding her daughter over studies. The girl said her mother threatened her with a knife. The girl then pushed her mother, following which the woman fell and injured her head from the corner of a cot. The woman, who was in a semi-conscious state, tried to grab a karate belt lying nearby. On seeing that, the girl grabbed the belt and allegedly strangled her mother to death with it. The girl later sent a WhatsApp message to her father and uncle from her mother's phone, saying "I tried everything I quit". She then locked the house and managed to go outside. She then called her father over the phone and told him that her mother was not opening the door. Her father informed her uncle who went to their house. He broke open the door and found the woman lying dead on the bed with the karate belt around her neck. The police are still suspicious and think the girl is not telling the full truth. The teenager was detained on Monday 9 August and a case of murder has been registered.
