Meanwhile, the mother of the deceased says the two suspects are people well-known to her as they regularly come to her house to eat.

She said she is extremely shocked that the teenagers could commit such a heinous crime against her son.

“They all know each other very well. They come here at will. Those who killed my son even eat in this house. I often serve them food and they all eat. I don’t know what happened. Why my son,” she told pressmen.
