A 21-year-old man allegedly killed his 18-year-old friend on Thursday by slitting his throat and stabbing him 54 times. Reason: The friend would allegedly speak to him only in English in an attempt to belittle him for being uneducated.
The accused, Mohammed Amir Abdul Wahid Rahin, then walked into Shahu Nagar police station and confessed he had killed his friend, Mohammed Afroz Alam Shaikh.
Police said Rahin walked in around 1 am, confessed and then took them to an isolated spot near Raheja bridge in Mahim where Shaikh’s body was found. Rahin told police Shaikh’s constant teasing had angered him, and he had been planning the murder for a week. “But he was waiting for the right time and location,” said DB Thorat, senior police inspector at Shahu Nagar police station.
