'I wanted my freedom back': Bengaluru girl reveals motive for killing father

班加罗尔女孩透露杀害父亲的动机：“我想重获自由”

BENGALURU: The 15-year-old girl accused of killing her father at their Rajainagar home has revealed to police that she committed the crime because she wanted her “freedom” back, speaking bitterly of an episode when he belted her for dating and cut phone privileges.

班加罗尔: 被控在拉贾吉那加家中杀害父亲的15岁女孩向警方透露，她犯下这一罪行是因为她想重获“自由”。她父亲因她外出约会而殴打她，并剥夺她打电话的权利，谈到这一经历时她颇为愤恨。

The girl’s 19-year-old boyfriend, Praveen, is also an accused in the case, which came to light early on Sunday, shocking the city and prompting conversations about teenage rebellion and parenting.

这名女孩19岁的男友普拉文也在此案中受到指控。此案于周日凌晨曝光，震惊了整个城市，引发了有关青少年叛逆和父母教育的讨论。

The two teens, who studied in the same school before Praveen advanced to college, stabbed her 41-year-old father before setting him ablaze, according to police.

据警方称，在普拉文上大学之前，两人在同一所学校上学，两人刺伤了女孩41岁的父亲，然后放火烧死了他。

Praveen was arrested on Sunday. The girl, also in custody, cannot be identified according to the law as she is a minor. The father ran an apparel business and was well respected in his community.

普拉文于周日被捕。女孩也已被拘留，但根据法律，无法定罪，因为她是未成年人。其父亲经营一家服装公司，在社区里很受尊敬。

The girl said in her police statement that he didn’t approve of her relationship with Praveen and asked her to focus on studies, taking away her mobile and limiting internet use. Deputy police commissioner (north) N Shashikumar shared the details of the statement on Monday. He quoted her lines: “My father had recently learned that I was meeting Praveen in malls and he beat me with his belt.”

Investigators believe this incident, along with restrictions on social media use and meeting friends, was the trigger for the murder.

女孩在警方声明中说，父亲不赞成她和普拉文的关系，并要求她集中精力学习，拿走她的手机，限制她上网。副警察局长N Shashikumar周一分享了声明的细节。他引用了女孩的话:“我父亲最近得知我在商场和普拉文见面，他用皮带打了我。”调查人员认为，这件事，以及对社交媒体使用和与朋友见面的限制，是这起谋杀案的导火索。

The two youngsters became close friends when the girl was in class 7 and Praveen was in class 10. Later, they started hanging out more often, even after Praveen left the school and joined a college as a commerce student.

在女孩上7年级，普拉文上10年级时，这两个年轻人成为了亲密的朋友。后来，他们开始更频繁地一起出去玩，即使是在普拉文进入一所大学读商科之后。

“They spent time in malls and would have long phone conversations. When the girl’s father learned about it, he asked his daughter to end the friendship,” a police officer said. Praveen apparently had gifted a mobile to the girl, who used it to make secret calls. The subject of the calls turned darker as they allegedly discussed ways to take revenge for the “harassment” the girl had faced from her father.

一位警官称：“他们会一起逛商场，还会打很长时间的电话。女孩的父亲得知此事后，要求女儿结束这段友谊。”普拉文送了女孩一部手机，女孩用这部手机偷偷打电话。他们通话的主题变得更加黑暗，据称他们讨论了如何对父亲的“骚扰”进行报复。

Over the weekend, she spiked his milk with slee pills and called Praveen over to her Rajainagar residence, according to police. She allegedly slapped her father repeatedly to check if the pills had knocked him out and a few moments later, the two teens stabbed him. “They have confessed to the killing,” Shashikumar said.

警方称，上周末，女孩在他父亲的牛奶中加入安眠药，并把普拉文叫到她在拉贾吉那加的住所。据称，她多次扇父亲耳光，试探安眠药是否起效，几分钟后，两名少年用刀捅他。副警察局长Shashikumar称：“他们已经承认了杀人。”

Girl may have idolised her boyfriend: Expert

专家：女孩可能崇拜她的男朋友

Psychiatrist Dr Mahesh Gowda, who is the director of Spandana Health Care, said the 15-year-old girl accused of murdering her father might have idolised her boyfriend and seen her parents as an obstacle to her aspirations.

精神病学家Mahesh Gowda博士是Spandana Health Care的主任，他说，被控谋杀父亲的15岁女孩可能崇拜她的男友，把她的父母视为她实现愿望的障碍。

Many adolescents suffer from impulse control disorder, which is characterised by impulsivity, failure to resist temptation and inability to communicate, according to Dr Gowda. “Such cases are mostly seen among youngsters who are drug addicts, but every month I also get one or two cases of youngsters who don’t use substances. Often, they become influenced by someone and end up committing a crime. They think they can get away with it,” he said.

Gowda博士说，许多青少年患有冲动控制障碍，其特征是冲动、无法抗拒诱惑和无法沟通。“主要发生在吸毒青少年中，但每个月我也会遇到一两个不吸毒的青少年患这种症状。通常，他们会受到别人的影响，最终犯罪。他们认为他们可以侥幸逃脱。”

She’s innocent, says mother

女孩母亲：她是无辜的

The murdered businessman’s wife has reportedly told police that their daughter could not have committed the crime. The wife had travelled to Puducherry last week, and she returned to Bengaluru on Sunday evening.

据报道，被谋杀商人的妻子告诉警方，他们的女儿不可能犯罪。妻子上周去了普都切里，周日晚上回到了班加罗尔。

“She’s in shock — she doesn’t know how to process the twin tragedies of her husband’s murder and their daughter’s detention,” a relative said. “The daughter and her friend were brought to the crime scene for a spot inquest; she looked relaxed after seeing her mother.”

一位亲戚说:“她很震惊，不知道如何处理丈夫被谋杀和女儿被拘留这两起悲剧。她女儿和朋友被带到犯罪现场接受现场调查，看到母亲后，她看上去很放松。”

DCP N Shashikumar, meanwhile, said a formal complaint in the case had been filed by the businessman’s trusted employee of over 15 years. “This was done based on the suggestion by relatives and community association,” he said.

与此同时，警方表示，基于亲戚和社区协会的建议，这名商人信任的雇员已就此案提起正式投诉，他已在该公司工作了15年以上。

女孩是未成年人，她能逃脱严惩吗?

As parents there is always a fear that the children will go astray, especially girls. But today's teenaged girls defy what is indicated to them as right and wrong and think they know the world better than their parents. I feel the best way for them is to learn the hard way. Only when they realise their mistake they will repent and that's the end of their life.

作为父母，总是担心孩子会误入歧途，尤其是担心女儿。如今十几岁的女孩都无视对与错，认为自己比父母更了解这个世界。我觉得对他们来说最好的方法就是让他们吃点苦头，只有意识到自己的错误，他们才会忏悔。

The father is (or, rather, was) the prime idiot in the case, taking off his belt to whip her in a screeny fashion. He could have confiscated her mobile after warning if he wanted her to mend.

这位父亲太笨了，如果想让女儿改过自新，本可以在警告后没收她的手机。但他却脱下腰带鞭打女儿。

This is another case of teenager killing the parent. In most such case, the teenagers are usually totally spoilt, unruly and disobedient (not necessarily due to Upbringing). They then, quite rightly, get all kinds of "verbal thrashing" (along with some physical ones). These teenagers completely fail to learn lessons and try to reform themselves. Things go from bad to worse. The teenager then loses control and thinks that REVENGE is the solution! In some horrible cases, brainless teenagers have killed the whole family. I really feel sick even mentioning this. They should then be punished with nothing short of Life sentence.

又是一起青少年杀害父母的案件。这类案件，这些青少年通常是被宠坏了，不守规矩，不听话。父母有时候会骂他们或者打他们，但他们完全不吸取教训，不改过自新。情况越来越糟，然后就管不了他们了。他们认为报复是解决问题的办法!

有一些案例很可怕，脑残的青少年杀了全家。他们应该被判处终身监禁。

A fit of rage can lead to such incidents.Though, it is an unfortunate incident, the father, in my opinion is also responsible to a great extent. Bashing a grown up girl with his belt and snatchinh the phone was not the right way to bring the girl under control.
