Police said the accused first smashed the victim’s head with a stone and then strangled him.
A 64-year-old man and his associate are under arrest for the alleged murder of their 38-year-old son, Gul Hasan, whose body was discovered inside an abandoned shipping container near the Delhi-Mumbai Expressway in south Delhi's Kalindi Kunj on August 22. The 64-year-old revealed that he killed his son with the assistance of his 49-year-old friend, claiming Hasan suffered from schizophrenia.
The accused lured Hasan to the container under the pretext of taking him to a doctor for treatment, according to a police officer. The body was found with significant head injuries and blood at the scene on August 23. Police have registered a murder case and formed four teams to investigate the incident. CCTV footage showed the victim in the company of the two suspects before returning alone without him, leading to their subsequent arrest. Further interrogation is ongoing, and police await the post-mortem report analysis.
