Allahabad: A
70-year-old retired government college principal here was raped
and strangulated to death by a young man, who once worked as her
domestic help, police said Thursday. The accused has been
arrested.
The retired principal of Ishwar Sharan Girls' College was
Wednesday raped and murdered at her residence in the posh George
Town area by Amar Singh Yadav, 21.
"Yadav has admitted that he raped her, but initially had no
intention to kill her. He says he strangulated her because she
threatened to lodge a complaint to the police," Deputy
Superintendent of Police S.D. Shukla told reporters here, some 200
km from Lucknow.
According to the police, Yadav had come to her house after a long
gap.
"After committing the crime, Yadav was about to leave but saw the
woman's maid coming towards the house and, therefore, preferred to
hide on the rooftop of the house," Shukla said.
"After getting a call from the maid, we reached the site and
started our investigations. We came across a pair of men's shoes
lying in a corner of the house. As the woman used to live alone in
the house, the recovery of the shoes made us believe that the
accused could be hiding somewhere in the house," he added.
During the search, Yadav was nabbed from the rooftop.
