Key Highlights Youth murders girlfriend after she refused to commit suicide Accused drank poison and reached police station in Agra, dies Accused was angry after girl came into contact with another youth

Agra: In a shocking incident, a 21-year-old youth murdered his girlfriend after she refused to commit suicide along with him in Khakegad village of Agra district in Uttar Pradesh.

Two days later, the youth reached Kheragarh police station after consuming poison and confessed to the murder of his girlfriend. He later died while on way to the hospital.

According to a report in The Times of India, the youth killed the 19-year-old girl on November 30 by slitting her throat after calling her at an isolated place. The youth identified as Heth Singh Tomar was a resident of Chhichhawali village in Morena district of Madhya Pradesh.

He came in contact with the girl after the marriage of his sister to the neighbour of the deceased. A policeman has also shot a minute-long video of the youth where he reportedly confessed to killing the girl after she refused to commit suicide to show her love to him.

"The accused youth frequently visited Khakegad village to meet the girl. He also brought a mobile phone for the victim to keep in touch with her. However, after some time the girl came in contact with another guy which angered Heth. He then called the girl to a desolated place and asked her to commit suicide along with him. But the girl refused and he slit her throat," the report quoted a police officer as saying.

After killing the girl, the accused fled Agra to his native district Morena. But he again returned to the Taj city two days later and directly went to the police station to confess to the girl's murder.

Police are scanning CCTV footage of the area to ascertain whether he was assisted by someone to reach the police station after he drank poison. Police believe he drank pesticide which he carried in a drinking water bottle.
