A woman in Gujrat killed her one and half-year-old nephew for “being cuter than her child”.
According to a media report, the woman murdered the toddler by strangling him in his room and threw his body in an empty plot near home.
“The whole family used to love him more in comparison to my child which caused me mental distress,” she said, adding that the mental torture made her commit the murder as she “was not thinking straight”.

“I strangled him in his room while he was sleeping, then took the body to the roof and threw it in an empty plot at night,” she said.
Talking to media, police said that the child went missing from his grandparents’ home on December 29. The body was recovered from an empty plot near the house on December 31.
“After the investigation, Maria Shahid, who is the aunt of the demised toddler, pleaded guilty,” the police officer said.
Meanwhile, the mother of the child said that she can never comprehend the thought process behind this “heinous crime”. “He was just a toddler,” she said.
The police have arrested the accused and sent her to jail after registering a case.
