A 15-year-old boy who reportedly confessed to police on Friday that he had killed his mother and sister at their house in Noida recently was addicted to a violent gangster game played on mobile phones.
Anjali Agarwal (42) and her 12-year-old daughter, Kanika, were found beaten and stabbed to death at their residence on the night of December 4; the boy was reported missing since that day. He was caught in Varanasi and brought back to Noida on Friday, where he confessed to police.
While Bisrakh police SHO Ajay Sharma said the police were continuing investigations into the motives for the killings, initial investigations found the boy had been playing a gangster game, Gangster in High School, on multiple electronic devices.
His relatives had earlier appealed to him to return home and claimed he could not kill anyone.
