It may be recalled here, last week a teenager killed his mother with a licensed pistol of his father, who is in the Army, because she stopped him from playing online games like PUBG. He even threatened her 10-year-old sister that he would kill her if she told anyone about the murder. Later, he hid the body inside their house for three days and used room fresheners to mask the foul smell from the decomposed body.
