A 25-year-old unemployed man, addicted to social media and enraged with his mother and twin sister’s advice to focus on his career, killed his sibling by stabbing her 84 times and then told his mother that he had a surprise for her, following which he showed her his sister’s body.
When she screamed in horror seeing her daughter in a pool of her own blood, the accused attacked her also, and she is currently recovering in a hospital.
