12-Yr-Old Boy Murdered by 3 Minor Friends in MP

Bhopal: A 12-year-old boy was allegedly murdered by three of his friends in Magarkatha village in Madhya Pradesh’s Seoni district on Sunday. The assailants were aged 16, 14, and 11 years. They strangled the victim with a cycle chain, smashed his head with a stone, and slit his throat with a butcher knife.

The three minors packed the 12-year-old’s body in a polythene bag and dumped it near their house.

According to police sources, the 16-year-old accused had tried to speak with the sister of the 12-year-old boy. The victim opposed it, which led to his gruesome murder.

The three detained minors were sent to a correctional home for 14 days by a court.

The assailant trio called the 12-year-old boy to a deserted place in Magarkatha village, where they committed the crime like habitual killers. They caught hold of him and strangled him with a cycle chain. When the boy shouted in pain, they smashed his head with a big stone, and slit his throat with a sharp knife.
