Motihari: In a chilling case of honour killing, a youth brutally bludgeoned his sister and her lover to death with a hammer after he found them in a “compromising position” in a village in East Champaran district late on Thursday night. What unfolded next was even more disturbing. The accused informed the police and sat beside their bodies through the night, until police arrived at Trilokwa village under Kesaria police station area in the district. SDPO, Chakia, Satyendra Prasad Singh, said the accused, Aman Kumar (20), a native of Trilokwa village, flew into a fit of rage after allegedly finding his sister, Priya Kumari Sah (22), with her lover, Vikash Kumar Bhagat (24), in an objectionable condition inside her room late Thursday night. Armed with a hammer lying nearby, Aman, younger to Priya, struck both to death in a violent outburst that police have labelled as an act of “honour killing”. He said Vikash had a criminal antecedent and had several cases registered against him. He had come out of jail two months back. He said Aman confessed to killing his sister and Vikash. The police arrested Aman and sent the two bodies for postmortem at the Motihari Sadar Hospital. The blood-stained hammer used in the murder was also seized by the police. An FSL team also arrived at the crime spot to launch an investigation. The police said Vikash, a resident of Raghunathpur village, had a criminal background and was jailed in several cases of murder and vehicle theft. He was under police’s watch during recent Ram Navami celebrations.
