Trust and betrayal saga: Man kills woman who gave him shelter

New Delhi, Feb 11 : In a case of trust and betrayal, a man who was given shelter by a couple has killed the woman along with his friends in an alleged robbery bid.
The police said that the accused, who has been identified as Sumit Kumar, strangulated and slit the throat of 32-year-old Tarannum in Delhi’s Kishangarh area with the help of his friends in a robbery bid when her husband was away. The murderers could find just Rs 2,000 in the house though.
The woman’s body was traced by the police at a hospital on February 9 at around 3 a.m. when the hospital authorities informed the cops about stab wounds on the neck.
During the course of investigation, it was revealed that Sumit Kumar was staying with the said couple. Accordingly, he was apprehended for questioning.
“The husband of the deceased woman had given shelter to Sumit, and called him brother,” said a senior police officer.
During sustained interrogation, Sumit disclosed that he had hatched a conspiracy with his three childhood friends, namely Arun, Amit and Ravi, to eliminate Tarannum.
