Mangaluru, Oct 29: City police commissioner, Dr Harsha P S, said that preliminary investigation has indicated that Samson killed his sister, Fiona Sweedal Cutinho (16) on account of a feeling of jealousy nurtured by him against her, because of his belief that his parents were neglecting him and discriminating him as compared to his sister.

Samson, a student of a private engineering college here, had got addicted to drugs and other vices and cut short his education. He was under the impression that his parents were partisan towards his sister, Fiona, a brilliant first PU student, the commissioner said, addressing a press meet here on Monday October 28.

Samson told the investigators that his sister was provided with a good quality cellphone and she also got preference in food and other aspects as compared to him. As this feeling got deep-rooted, he killed his sister out of jealousy as per the current investigation, he added.

He said that the police will soon take Samson into police custody for an advanced probe. He has confessed that he hit his sister with a hammer, and the police will also conduct probe on the basis of reports from forensic experts relating to mortal remains of Fiona, he stated.

After the murder, the accused was away for two days from home, and complained of a headache. The commissioner said that the parents are not ready to accept the fact that their children have become drug addicts. Therefore, the police have been undertaking awareness programs against drugs in schools and colleges, the police commissioner said.

    Gone are the days when children sat with their parents and spoke their hearts out. Back then, families visited each other, stayed connected. There was a routine in place for every thing - study, play, dinner, family prayer and T.V. time. Most of all, respect and obedience to elders.

    Make do without mobile phones and social networking sites, whenever possible, and you will still be able to survive, communicate and improve your overall mental and physical wellbeing.

    Anger management classes should be introduced in schools and colleges and made mandatory.

    The turn of events here were rather unfortunate and sadly ended in tragedy.

    This is a wake-up call for us all.

    Very sad. We are becoming like an island more and more even while living amidst a lot of people. It is probably due to the digital persona free of social connection even within a smallest milieu such a family. We need to find a solution to once again get back our social life filled with understanding each other, supporting each other and get back lost respect for each other. May God give most strength to the bereaved.

    It is very sad to hear this. As rightly said kids are bright till 12th. But what happens after it? Kids start lying about bad habits, get into this pleasure of drugs, even parents are far away. Strict measures should be taken by college where illegal activities are being done.

    And most importantly students are to be given counseling regarding this in a way they can understand. Nobody is born with morals like this. It's to be taught in house equally in puc and colleges. And the parents should take care of partiality and love among kids. They should explain their kids that they're being equally loved. We can't love our right hand more than our left. I feel mere studying is not useful, equally good values and teaching in home school college is useful.

    It is a black day in the history of humanity in Mangalore. An 18 year old own brother killing his own 16 year old sister! In response section, many have blamed the parents and parenting. This is not the time to be that harsh to those parents who have lost both of their young kids for a tragedy.
    But a word of caution!
    Instead of blaming the parents, let us reflect our own system of raising in our home districts Mangalore and Udupi. There was a time, parents hardly had any income but has to feed a military of 8 to 10 kids; maybe there were many days half starved. Such generation has achieved very high morals and life status. But one mistake of their progeny is one or two kid’s happy family. Olden day’s parents may be poor materially but were rich and were teaching their kids ‘sharing is caring’ and with such a system, a chain of steps were taken in the right spirit. It was so simple, the elder sibling will take care of the younger and it continues till the last sibling of the big family. There was a strong bond of love and sacrifice for each one owns siblings. Time changed, we became affluent (? Some time acting?) and we taught our children selfishness. Though we have two kids, we made a system of providing them and making them not to depend on each other. The very bond of siblings is lost and a material business was introduced. We parents acted, over acted without giving the essence of struggle and poverty. We compete with our relatives and friends. We openly drink alcohol at home and restrict the growing teenagers from such act. Many parents don’t even talk, share and care their own children.
    Parents are a role model first. Growing kids watch and learn silently from us. I do not blame the parents here that they were making partiality between these two kids as the accused boy has revealed during interrogation. I say it may be his perception!
    Lacking point in our society is we parents never talk to our children openly, never regularly share our problems with them. S

    If the Police officer's opinion is to be believed, today in our society there should have been all boys/men surviving because our tend is to always favour boys. Boys will get best food, best clothing, school, two-wheeler and so on. Its girls who were always sidelined, discriminated against but they still survived. How ? Because they did not have strength to strangle or hammer their male sibling ? Certainly not. Please do not give baseless statement. The Police Dept should accept its failure in kurbing the drug-menace than giving unnecessary reasons.

    As for the departed sister and her killer brother, it's the parents who have failed in their responsibilities. Both of you may be working to meet the family expenses but the rivalry does not come up upon pushing a button. It grows from bud and you were to take notice of this from its beginning. If you don't spend time with them and correct the grudge your children hold against each other in time, society is not going to do anything about it because it's you who are losing, not the society.

    Nevertheless, my sympathies do remain with you parents and my prayers for peaceful rest to her soul shall continue.

    Its really unfortunate.
    If you think of it, even Samson must have been a very good student in PUC for him to be doing engineering.
    But fate had other plans to take him to drugs.
    Many college areas talk about drug menace.. Why there is no control I wonder.
    Todays gen are very vulnerable to all these.
    Counselling at home regularly might help this society.

    Who is/are the culprit/s? Who is/are the victim/s? Everyone thinks that the way to happiness is only through earning money. People forget to shape their children into better living beings. The values in a family are lost. The parents are also responsible what their child will become into. U cannot control the child once their grown up. but u can teach them better values when they young enough. I am not pointing out here To Samson's parents. But in general people are jealous of each others success. We never understand the values of our family until we grow up. Do not separate from your family. Live together, Share together and you all will be happy together. Build a better family and the society will be better.

    Parents have not played their required part on time . They should have controlled the boy when he was small. Making discrimination between children also affect behavior . Now Parents have lost both children. I feel pity on them. God, Give them courage to face this.

    When children are growing cannot control them as like a small kid. Bad company will spoil many of the youngsters. One rotten apple spoils the barrel.

    It is so sad on the part of the parents.
    Lost their daughter, sons career is in doledrums due drug addiction and murdering his sister.
    If Samson is sentenced to death (eventually) they are the unlucky parents losing both their grown up children. As per Law of the land the killer needs to be awarded death sentence because of the cold murder of his sibling. Taking into consideration the helpless situation of the parents, how the court will decide yet to be known.

    Interrogate him and findout from whom he was getting drugs. Cath all the people who supply drugs to the students and encounter them one by one. They're the real cause for increasing crimes in m'lore.

    He had no empathy for his own sister. Sibling rivalry, jealousy is common. 1 child will always be better that the other even if its a 1%. U don't kill for that. He did not think twice before killing her, imagine what he is capable of doing to an outsider.

    ANU, Giving a death sentence is not a solution. Very easy to preach. When a person is high on drugs do you think they are in the right mental state. We live in a world we're we have no time to speak with our own family. Spending time with your loved ones is important. May she rest in Peace.
