Dad tortures daughter’s alleged rapist to death by burning genitals
Police in India say a dad went vigilante as he invited his 14-year-old daughter’s alleged rapist over to dinner with the intent of luring him into a trap so that he could torture him.
Via the India Express:
The father called the 45-year-old married medicine supplier over to his house, saying he wanted to discuss some issue. He served him dinner. After the meal, the father overpowered the man and tied him to a chair. He got heated tongs and burned the supplier’s genitals before strangling him to death. He came to the police station and surrendered himself.
Police allege the man had been planning the murder since his daughter told him about the incident the day it happened, but did not report it to police, fearing “a bad name for his daughter.”
The father reportedly told the police, “I burned his genitals once, he screamed. I did it again, he shuddered. When I did it the third time … he did not move. He was dead … I did not want to kill him.”
The father is under arrest and faces murder charges.
