Teen who killed brother used to sexually abuse him: Cops
According to the police, parents were aware of his habits and were trying to keep him away from the younger son. The accused minor, after stabbing his brother to death with a knife, buried the body close to his house.
"The accused confessed to having unnatural sex with his younger brother. The parents also revealed that they had seen the act and had warned him. But he was addicted to watching porn on his mobile. He would browse his mobile phone till late in the night, and the content was all porn.
When we browsed his social media handle, we found many women in his friend list," SP (Balangir) Abilash G said.
Police said after the child went missing on June 29, parents lodged a missing person's complaint, little knowing that their elder son had already killed the child. "They (parents) knew his bad habits but didn't suspect he would kill his brother," the SP said. "If the parents had confided to somebody about their son's habits, maybe the murder could have been averted," Abilash added.

Police said the parents had a poor impression of their elder son, which generated anger in him, and further distanced him from the family. Police groped in the dark and thought it could be a case of trafficking. However, the accused's mother revealed that when she returned home in the evening on the day of her son's disappearance, her elder son was seen washing the floor. When police asked if he did that often, she replied in the negative, bringing the focus onto the teenager.
During subsequent questioning, he confessed to his crime.
The accused tried to clean the floor where blood had spilled following the stabbing. He cleaned it to destroy evidence and avoid getting caught. After discovering the sexual exploitation angle, police will now incorporate changes to the charge sheet. "He may be booked under the POCSO Act apart from murder," the SP added.

'Can You Say it is Criminal to Love?' Says SC While Hearing Petition on Lowering Age of Consent
The apex court's observations came while it was hearing a petition that raised the question whether or not the age of consent, which is 18 years, should be reduced to 16 under the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (POCSO) Act. New Delhi: The Supreme Court on Tuesday (August 19) said that there is a need to distinguish between rape and genuine romantic cases involving youngsters on the cusp of majority. "Now, they develop feelings for each other. Can you say it is criminal to love? We have to keep a distinction between a criminal act like rape, etc., from this," said a bench of Justices B.V. Nagarathna and R. Mahadevan, noting the existence of co-education institutions and universities, reported Press Trust of India. The apex court's observations came while it was hearing a petition that raised the question whether or not the age of consent, which is 18 years, should be reduced to 16 under the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (POCSO) Act. "When there are genuine romantic cases, they like each other and they want to get married... Don't treat such cases the same as criminal cases, You have to keep the reality of society in mind,' said the court. The court also referred to the trauma such couples face, mostly because of the male partner being sent to jail by the parents of the girl after filing a case under the POCSO Act. "This is the harsh reality in society," the bench said, noting cases under the POCSO Act were also filed to cover up elopements. Senior advocate H.S. Phoolka, who appeared for the petitioner organisation, called for safeguard and said that a similar issue concerning the age of consent was being considered by another bench of the apex court, reported PTI. The court said that the police would look into the matters to ascertain whether it was a case of kidnapping, trafficking or whether it was a case of genuine love. After Phoolka said he would place on record some top court orders in the context of the prayers sought for in the petition, the bench posted the matter for August 26. Earlier, the Union government had defended in the apex court the statutory age of consent of 18 years, saying the decision was a "deliberate, well-considered, and coherent" policy choice aimed at shielding minors from sexual exploitation. It had said that diluting the age of consent or introducing exceptions under the guise of adolescent romance would be not only legally unsound but also dangerous.
