A woman living near the spot noticed blood oozing from the polythene bag yesterday and informed the police.
The police said the three accused minors are 16, 14 and 11 years old. They allegedly murdered their 12-year-old friend at a deserted place in a jungle near the Magarkatha village in the Seoni district. The trio allegedly strangled their friend with the iron chain of a cycle, then hit a big boulder on his skull and finally cut his throat with a sharp slaughtering knife.
The police suspect an old dispute, possibly related to the deceased boy’s objection to advances by the three accused towards his sister could have led to the brutal murder.
