Whenever we wanted to take action on him, our Dad would refuse because he is the last born and get wanted him to study. He has told our stepmother several times that he doesn't like her, vowing that he was going to kill her one day. We took the report to the police but no serious action was taken against him. Unfortunately he smokes and takes all kinds of drugs. So on Thursday, when I was not around, my duster came around from her husband's house. She use to come every Thursday, to keep our stepmother company. Immediately my sister entered the house, Najeeb closed the entrance gate. Then he went to our dads sitting room and tricked him to his bedroom with the intention to lock him up in the room to avoid himm from obstructing his plan but that failed. He proceeded to the kitchen and took a pestile and returned to the sitting room where our stepmother was seated with two maids and her daughter and closed the door leading to the sitting room.
