NEW DELHI (Thomson Reuters Foundation) - A young Indian woman has admitted murdering her father as he slept by cutting open his chest and removing his pacemaker, saying he had raped her for years and she was too scared of him to go to the police, the Times of India reported on Tuesday.
The 23-year-old woman enlisted two male friends to help bludgeon her father to death with a wooden cricket stump before tearing open his chest with a piece of glass and removing the pacemaker, according to the report.
"She alleged her father made physical advances towards her and exploited her. If she objected, she was beaten up and threatened. He also did not allow her to meet her boyfriend. Finally, she made up her mind to get rid of him," said Additional Commissioner of Police for West Delhi Ranvir Singh.
Police have arrested the woman and two men and recovered a blood stained cricket stump, cable, knife, glass shards and car, he said.
The woman said her father started abusing her after her mother died three years ago, according to the report.
