KOLHAPUR: Denied his daily staple of porn and horror films on his personal computer, a youth from an affluent family decided to get rid of what he thought was the root cause of his misery.
Abhishek Patil (21) on Tuesday confessed that he had murdered his grandmother Shantabai Patil (67) in cold blood on April 3.
The youth was apparently angry that he had been asked to vacate his room to accommodate his grandmother after she had moved to their house recently. Police inspector G P Dabhade told TOI that Shantabai had recently shifted to the home of her elder son and Abhishek's father, Shirish Patil, who is a doctor.
Abhishek was upset with his grandmother using his room as he could not get his dose of horror and porn clips which he used to watch on his computer, he said. Abhishek was told by his parents to share a room with his brother, Viren.
Abhishek, a student of a private polytechnic college in Jaisinghpur, had not been attending classes for the past two months and Shantabai often scolded him for that. "She once even chided him in front of guests, which made him contemplate murder," Dabhade said.
On April 3, Abhishek smashed Shantabai's head with a stone pestle, killing her instantly. He also stabbed Viren to make it look like an outside job. During interrogation, he tried to mislead the police by saying that Shantabai's head had been smashed by an intruder. He claimed that he had tried in vain to catch the intruder.
However, the police found discrepancies in the statements given by Abhishek and other family members. Abhishek was picked up on April 5 and subjected to questioning.
On Tuesday, he finally cracked and admitted that he killed his grandmother and stabbed his brother.
I have no clue how to react. This is the act of a spoilt child, not a man of twenty one.
