Adopted teen kills her 12-year-old cousin in Amroha

BIJNOR: After two children — Chirag (12), a student of class 4, and his neighbour Mahir (4) — were found dead in Ketwali Pandki under Amroha Dehat police station on Wednesday, Chirag’s 15-year-old adopted sister, who is also his cousin, turned out to be his killer, police said on Sunday.
Chirag's father, Raju Saini, had adopted his sister's daughter 15 years ago when he had no child.However, later his wife bore two children.
Amroha SP Kunwar Anupam Singh said, "We detained the deceased's sister on Sunday who confessed to her crime. She is not Chirag's biological sister, so he used to taunt her. On May 8, when her parents were out for agricultural work, Chirag taunted her again. She struck him with a stick on his neck, causing him to collapse unconscious, after which she strangled him to death. She hid her brother's body behind a heap of bricks. Police recovered the rope and stick used in the crime."
The body of Mahir was exhumed by police on Friday. They are still determining the cause of his death.
