In the Seraikela-Kharsawan area of Jharkhand, a father allegedly fatally axed a mentally challenged individual who had previously murdered his son in a similar manner, according to authorities.
Even the murder weapon used by 30-year-old Guruwa Munda to kill 13-year-old Chamru Munda was utilized by the accused, mid-thirties-old Budhram Munda.
According to a police statement, the event happened when the adolescent was viewing a video on his phone with his cousins at home in the Kuchai police station area's Maoist-affected Gilua hamlet.
Guruwa suddenly stormed the house carrying an axe, killed the youngster, and then went outside in search of Budhram. Guruwa spotted Budhram near his house and pursued him, but he was able to flee.
The mentally disabled man was captured by villager workers, who then tied him up with a rope and dumped him in the house's backyard. But it also claimed that they had left the murderous weapon next to him.
After an hour and a half, Budhram arrived home to see Guruwa bound behind his house and his kid dead.
The mentally challenged man was lying alongside him when the man, in a fit of rage, grabbed up the axe and killed him with it, according to the statement.
An official stated that although the tragedy occurred on Tuesday night, the police could not enter the village until Thursday due to its isolation and that both bodies had been found and transferred for post-mortem testing.
