14-year-old boy kills mother’s boyfriend in Ahmedabad

AHMEDABAD: A 14-year-old boy from Danilimda first stabbed his mother’s boyfriend and then bludgeoned him to make sure he was dead on Monday, ostensibly because he was fed up of the victim beating him and his mother every day.
According to city crime branch officers who detected the crime, the boy was just four years old when his mother eloped with the victim, taking him along.
The boy said that soon after his mother began living with the victim, he began harassing her first and him as well.
“He used to beat the boy’s mother every day and whenever the boy tried to intervene, he would also be beaten,” said a crime branch officer.
The officer said the boy contacted his friend and bought a knife to kill the victim. On May 17, he took the victim to a secluded spot in the Calico Mill compound in Behrampura on a scooter. The boy first stabbed the victim and when he fell unconscious, bludgeoned him to ensure he was dead.
Crime branch personnel seized the knife and the scooter, worth Rs 60,000, and handed over the inquiry to Danilimda police.
