Jealousy, deception: 5 shocking revelations in the gruesome Delhi triple murder | Latest News India

Delhi Police on Thursday said it has solved the triple murder case in which a couple and their daughter were found dead in their house in Neb Sarai area on Wednesday morning. Police said the murders were committed by the couple’s son Arjun due to a family dispute.

The 20-year-old initially claimed to have been training at the time of the murders. However, the investigation revealed that he not only alerted the police to the crime, but also informed his uncle about the incident.

According to the officials, Arjun’s motive for the murders was a deep sense of humiliation at the hands of his father and the discovery that his parents were planning to bequeath their property to his sister.

Here are 5 shocking revelations from the Delhi murder case:

The son’s shocking confession

Arjun Tanwar, the late couple’s 20-year-old son, confessed to killing his parents and sister. He is said to have committed the crime with a pocket knife.

According to a report by news agency PTI, Arjun Tanwar studied political science from a Delhi University college and was a trained boxer. He added that he represented Delhi in a state boxing competition where he won the silver medal. He had previously studied at the Army Public School, Dhaula Kuan.

During the investigation, he told police that he first killed his sister by slitting her throat while she was sleeping.

He then went upstairs, where he stabbed his father in the neck and slit the throat of his mother, who was in the washroom, police said.

Motive behind the murders

According to police, Arjun’s desire was to take revenge on his father, who he said had humiliated him. He is also said to have killed his sister due to sibling rivalry.

Officials also said Arjun was upset that they liked his sister more than him.

“Arjun’s relations with his father and family were not good. His father was a former military man. He used a pocket knife to commit the crime. The motive behind the murders was that the man felt humiliated by his father’s scolding. The second reason was sibling rivalry. Out of anger, he planned to kill her and chose December 4 as the date to commit the crime as it was his parents’ wedding anniversary,” a police official said.

Planned on the parents’ wedding day

Arjun is said to have planned the murders on his parents’ 27th wedding anniversary. The couple had planned to celebrate the occasion on the day of the crime.

Elaborate deception

Arjun staged a scene where he pretended to go train and then came back to discover the bodies. He even called the police and claimed his family had been killed.

After committing the crime, Arjun changed his blood-stained clothes, put them in his gym bag and went to Sanjay Van where he threw them along with the knife used to commit the crime, police said.

When he got home, he tried to clean blood stains in the laundry room and other items in the house, police said.

Tanwar then gave police a false alibi, claiming he was at the gym when the family members were murdered.

Southern Range Deputy Commissioner of Police SK Jain said in a press conference, “There were no signs of theft or break-in at the scene and the bodies were found on the bed. It was clear that it was so.” No case of robbery or burglary was investigated.

“Slowly we started to see contradictions in his (Arjun’s) statements. In the end, he confessed to the murder of his father, mother and sister,” Jain added.

No signs of forced entry

Police found no signs of theft or forced entry at the scene. The bodies were found lying on the bed with their throats slit.
