Guj: Boys killed by parents in Palla village

Godhra, Gujarat, July 21: The bodies of two boys have been exhumed from the backyard of a house in Palla village of Ghoghamba taluka, about 70 kms from here, and the father of the boys and their step mother arrested in this connection.

The two boys have been identified as Ganpat (13) and Sampat (19).

The father and the step-mother, identified as Nanji Rathwa and Kohaida, had allegedly killed the two boys about 20 days back and had buried their bodies in the backyard.

Police said Kohaida hated the boys as they were not her own children and had hatched the conspiracy to kill them. Her husband had abetted in the crime, police said.

The police, however, are yet to ascertain as to how the boys were killed since the bodies were in a highly decomposed state. They have sought the help of the Forensic Science Laboratory at Gandhinagar in this regard.
