The police on Wednesday apprehended a 17-year-old boy in connection with the murder of a 43-year-old senior auditor whose body was found murdered at his house in Jaitpur of south-east Delhi on July 7.
DCP (South-East) Chinmoy Biswal said that four persons, including the deceased’s wife and their son, were nabbed on Tuesday.
“We have detained a juvenile who helped the culprit in the murder,” said Mr. Biswal.
The juvenile disclosed that the auditor’s wife and her son had assigned the task to him and another man, Rishab, for ₹1.25 lakh. The two were told that they were going to kill the auditor’s brother who used to sexually assault his sister-in-law. They did not know that the victim was actually the husband of the woman.
‘No remorse’
“The deceased’s son said that his father never loved him. He [father] never brought any gift for him and always demeaned his mother in front of other family members,” said a police officer.
The accused mother-son said they had no remorse as they swere fed up with the behaviour of the auditor.
The police said that the auditor was stabbed around six times on back and neck.
On July 5 night, the mother-son called the duo to their house and asked them to hide on the terrace. The victim returned around 11.30 p.m. and was drunk. He slept without having dinner. Around 2.30 a.m., the accused killed the victim.
