In a shocking incident in Delhi's Uttam Nagar, two brothers were found dead in their rented flat, with police investigating the elder brother's son as a prime suspect in the apparent double homicide.
Two brothers were found dead inside a rented flat in southwest Delhi's Uttam Nagar area, official sources said.
The deceased have been identified as Devender Kumar (aged around 50) and his younger brother Amit (aged around 45).
According to police sources, the two had recently moved into the flat as tenants.
They received information from the deceased's landlord and reached the spot where the bodies were found.
The source said that prima facie, Devender's son is a prime suspect in the case. He was present at the spot, but has since gone missing, and his phone too is not reachable.
Preliminary inquiry has revealed that a quarrel had taken place in the flat on Friday night. The landlord had also objected to the disturbance caused during the altercation, sources said.
According to the initial assessment of the crime scene, it appears that both victims may have sustained fatal injuries after their heads were pushed against a wall, the source said.
However, the exact sequence of events and cause of death will be confirmed after the postmortem report, the source added.
Further investigation into the matter is underway.
