Man plots own murder to claim insurance money

INDIA: A businessman in the Indian city of Lucknow was reeling under enormous debts. He thought of getting himself murdered so that his family could claim the life insurance money.

He got in touch with a few goons who agreed to carry out the murder and Rs10,000 exchanged hands, reports The Times of India.

The man's body was later recovered by the police. He was shot on his back and strangulated to death. When the police was clueless about the motive behind his murder, they traced his phonecalls and tracked down the culprits who spilled the beans.

He owed various lending institutions in excess of Rs 50 lakh and his life insurance policy was for Rs 70 lakh. He could not commit suicide as in the event of an unnatural death his family would not be paid off. Hence, he plotted his own murder.

On the fateful day, the killers consumed alcohol and the victim took some pills, the culprits told the police. Then the victim was shot from the back and when he fell down, he was strangled to death.

Unfortunately for the family, the man lost his life for nothing as they are unlikely to receive even a penny from the insurance firm now.

LONDON - A British schoolgirl and her married maths teacher, who triggered a Europe-wide hunt after running away together a week ago, were found by police on Friday in the southwestern French city of Bordeaux.

British police said teacher Jeremy Forrest, 30, had been arrested on suspicion of abducting 15-year-old Megan Stammers. The pair were found strolling down Bordeaux's main shopping street.

Forrest faces extradition to Britain while Megan was being looked after by British consular staff and child protection officers, police told a press conference in the pair's home county of Sussex, southeast England.

"She will be returned to the UK to be with her family," Chief Inspector Jason Tingley of Sussex Police told journalists.

He added that the pair were found after a member of the public saw Forrest in Bordeaux and recognised him from television coverage.

French officials said the couple had been found on a public street in the centre of Bordeaux.

A French police source said they were arrested in the city's main shopping street - the 1.2 kilometre pedestrian rue Saint-Catherine - while going for a job interview.

Forrest was later seen leaving the police station on Friday evening in an unmarked police car. He was hidden from view by officers and the vehicle left for an unknown destination, accompanied by two escort cars. (AFP)
