LUCKNOW, May 26 -- A 14-year-old boy, who allegedly murdered his 70-year-old grandmother, Vidya, over a demand for Rs. 500, spent the entire night sleeping beside her corpse to avoid suspicion, said police officials investigating the case. "He spent the entire night beside his grandmother's lifeless body, pretending nothing had happened," said a police officer. The next morning, the boy locked the door and told a neighbour that his grandmother was unwell and that he was heading to school. Hours later, suspicious neighbours forced their way into the house and discovered Vidya's body lying on the bed. The incident took place on May 21-22 night in Muzasa village, Malihabad, and has since escalated into a web of family allegations and property disputes. "He admitted to the crime, saying he lost control after being denied money. He claimed his grandmother pushed him, which triggered the attack," said Malihabad SHO Surendra Singh Bhati. As per police, the accused-Vidya's only grandson-became enraged when she refused to give him Rs.500 for perfume and Rs.2,100 for school fees. During a heated argument, he strangled her and then smothered her with a pillow. Meanwhile, the case has taken a new turn, with Vidya's daughters alleging that her brother-in-law, Radheshyam, orchestrated the murder to grab municipal land. They claim the minor was manipulated and used as a pawn. "Vidya had fought a legal battle to gain custody of her grandson after her daughter and husband passed away. Just four days before the murder, the boy had returned to her home with clothes and perfume," her elder daughter, Madhuri, told media persons. htc...
