An Indian man, frustrated at failing to find employment, ordered the murder of his father to get his government job, a day before the victim was to retire, police said on Tuesday.
The man, arrested from a village in the impoverished eastern Bihar state, had planned to claim his father’s job on the grounds that he died while still at work, police officer Naresh Singh said.
The son had paid a relative about $2,500 to carry out the crime which was committed at the weekend but reported on Tuesday.
“He told us he would have got a government job on compassionate grounds had this murder remained a mystery,” Singh said.
I wonder if he was going to try to collect his father’s pension, as well?
He was going to say he needed the job because he was an orphan.
Yep, Shiva made him do it just like Christ makes all those in prision kill, rape and assault. We need to put a crucifix next to every article about some “evildoer”. I guess greed and stupidity are too abstract for us to blame.
It’s ok because he’ll be reincarnated.
Maybe he hated his father? I doubt this was done just to get the job…
You use a picture of Nataraja to flag a story about a murder? Would you use a picture of say, Mother Teresa to tag a story about incest in Italy? I didn’t think so either. Poor judgment, Dvorak. Actually, ignorance. Didn’t expect it from you. Too bad.
