A father in India is facing murder charges after he invited his daughter’s alleged rapist to dinner and then tortured and killed the man, authorities say.
The 36-year-old father, who has not been identified, reportedly burned the 45-year-old man’s genitals with heated tongs and strangled him Friday, The Indian Express reported. The incident occurred in Delhi’s Khajuri Khas area.
In a statement to police, the father told authorities that two months ago, while he was away at work, a medicine supplier came to his home, found his 14-year-old daughter alone, and allegedly raped her.
After the man was killed, the father went to a local police station Sunday, surrendered himself and gave police details about what happened.
He told police he didn’t intend to kill the alleged attacker, but the idea that the man who he says impregnated his daughter would not get justice was too much to bear.
“I burned his genitals once, he screamed. I did it again, he shuddered. When I did it the third time..he did not move. He was dead…I did not want to kill him,” the father reportedly confessed.
