12-year-old looses life due to old family feud

A 12-year-old girl was found dead on Tuesday morning with her throat slit in Bhojpur village, Ghaziabad.
“The victim’s naked body was stuffed in a sack and dumped near a drain,” said police, adding that she was allegedly murdered by her 25-year-old neighbour, Deepak Chaudhary and his mother. A complaint was filed by victim’s father, Prem Singh, on Monday evening when she did not return from a visit to the local market even after three hours. During the search, police arrested the accused following a blood trail to their house. They also found the half-burned clothes of victim at the house.
According to the police, 26-year-old rivalry between the families of the victim and the accused led to the murder. The rivalry started in 1989 with the murder of the victim’s 23-year-old cousin. Since the start of the rivalry, four members of the girl’s family and two in the accused’s family have been murdered. The murder of the 12-year-old is the seventh in the family.
