Lucky guy. He will get free food and accomodation for 3 months. He can work there and earn something.
3 years jail term he may enjoy. Should give more punishment
Qualities should learn from family. But if they are killing own family members for money/property then nothing to tell
I saw one news regarding killing of grandparents for getting money to buy bike. Such a shocking incident. People are bother about themselves not others
All are wanted money, property. For that they wont hesitate to kill own parents.
