Teen who killed brother used to sexually abuse him: Cops
Bhubaneswar: A 17-year-old teenager, who killed his younger brother, aged 12, and buried his body over perceived neglect by parents in Balangir district on Saturday, used to engage in unnatural sex with the deceased, police said on Sunday.
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.
