Ghaziabad police said the victim,Nishran,was a resident of Shraveri village.He was found dead in an under-construction building on the outskirts of the village on April 21.The police said Nishan was killed so brutally that blood was splattered all over the floor and walls. During the course of our investigation,we found that Shaukat and Aziz (names changed) were last seen with the boy.We detained them and began questioning.What they revealed was a horrifying tale of murder planned over days, the police said.

The police said the kids took Nishran on their cycle to the outskirts of the village around 1 pm on April 21.When they entered the under-construction building,Shaukat attacked Nishran from behind and strangled him with a copper wire.The duo then nailed him to the wall and fled.

We have questioned her relatives and will arrest her soon, the police said.

Locals said Shaukat had been behaving violently lately. He had murdered over three dogs and cut off wings of birds and forced them to fly.We think he suffers from a mental ailment, said Sadiq,his neighbour.The police said the accused had been kept in separate rooms at the observation home as they feared Shaukat would behave violently.
