  "account": "In Tumakuru district, India, a 16-year-old boy named Sunil was killed by his father, Nanjegowda, on Sunday. The tragic incident occurred in Chowdanayakanapalya village, Kunigal taluk. Sunil intervened to stop a quarrel between his parents, who were notorious for frequent and violent arguments. Nanjegowda, an alcoholic, had a history of domestic violence against his wife, having been previously arrested and jailed for attempting to murder her. On this fateful Sunday, the father threatened to assault his wife and, when Sunil tried to protect her, pushed his mother out of the house and locked the door. He then locked his son in the house, wielding an agricultural implement. Nanjegowda repeatedly attacked Sunil, who died instantly. Upon learning of the tragedy, the Kunigal police arrested the father and are now conducting further investigations into the brutal murder.",
