Thu Dec 26 14:05:21 UTC 2024: ## Teenager Arrested for Murder: Hathras Boarding School Death Mystery Solved
**Hathras, Uttar Pradesh –** A shocking twist has emerged in the September 26th death of a 9-year-old boy at a Hathras boarding school. Police announced Thursday that a 13-year-old student has been apprehended and confessed to the murder. Initial investigations had focused on the school director and his family, leading to five arrests on charges of murder and evidence tampering. However, further interviews revealed the teenager’s motive: a desire to close the school and return home.
According to Superintendent of Police Chiranjeev Nath Sinha, the 13-year-old admitted to strangling the victim with a towel. He reportedly believed the ensuing scandal would force the school’s closure. CCTV footage corroborates the confession, showing the teenager carrying a towel shortly before the incident. After the murder, he reportedly expressed fear to a classmate and asked to sleep beside them.
The 13-year-old suspect is currently in juvenile detention, and the investigation continues. The earlier arrests of the school director and four others are now under review in light of this new development. The case, which initially sparked speculation of a ritualistic sacrifice, has now been solved with the confession of a student who acted out of a desire to leave the institution.
