Woman axes father who tried to rape her, buries him in the backyard
25-year-old woman killed her father while he was trying to rape her at their residence, police said. The incident took place in Assam’s Biswanath district earlier this year.
She then, buried the body in the backyard, police confirmed.
The decomposed body of the 71-year-old man was recovered from a 15-foot-deep pit in their backyard on Tuesday. Police have arrested the woman and four of her family members in connection with the incident.
Police said the deceased allegedly tried to rape his daughter on March 3, culminating in a brawl that led to his death. While the woman was charged with murder, the other four – including her mother – were booked for concealing evidence.
“The statements they provided during questioning did not corroborate,” said district superintendent of police Diganta Kumar Chaudhary.
When confronted again, the woman confessed to the crime.
“According to the woman’s statement, the man tried to rape her around 11 pm that night. When she resisted, he pulled out an axe. But she overpowered him and killed him with the same weapon,” a police officer said.
“The family members kept the body concealed in plastic bags for the three days it took to dig the pit. They finally buried it on March 7,” the police officer said.
