An 11-year-old girl who accidentally stepped into her older sister's room on Friday night had to pay with her life after she saw her sister and her boyfriend together in a room when her parents were away. The 16-year-old and her boyfriend strangulated the girl and cut her body with an axe.

Chhattisgarh state's Korba district woke up to a spine-chilling murder on Saturday morning in which an 11-year-old girl was cut into pieces with an axe. Her older sister, a 16-year-old, and her boyfriend killed her after they were caught by the victim in a room enjoying a private moment.

The 16-year-old girl concocted a story of a fight over the use of a mobile phone, but the cops found a hole in the story as the statements constantly changed. The girl attributed the murder of her sister to an act in a fit of rage. However, her phone calls details and the fact that another person being at the location at the time of the murder led to a probe.

While they were in the room, her younger sister stepped in and caught them in action. Fearing she would expose them, they strangulated her and later hacked her.

A case has been registered under the POCSO Act, Juvenile Justice Act and sections of the IPC in this regard.
