Samson Admits Killing Sister Fiona by Assaulting her with a Hammer

Mangaluru: The Konaje police took the accused to the crime spot on October 27 in connection with Fiona Sweedal murder case.

Samson was addicted to drugs and was debarred from the college. On October 8, Samson had a fight with his sister for silly reasons and hit her with a hammer. During investigations, Samson admitted to the crime. The accused was taken to the crime spot to collect detailed information.

Fiona Sweedal (16) was the daughter of Francis Cutinha. She was studying in a prestigious college in the city and was murdered by her own brother on October 8.

Fiona’s mother is working in an IT Company and father Francis has retired. During Dasara Holidays Fiona, her brother Samson and father Francis were at home. At around 11:00 am, Francis went out to bring some sweets to his children and when he returned at 1:30 pm Fiona was not at home.

When Francis asked his son Samson about Fiona, Samson said that she had gone to Mangaluru. When Francis tried to call Fiona her mobile was also switched off but the location was showing as Mudipu.  Since Fiona did not take any money and had gone with the dress she was wearing at home, Francis got suspicious and filed a missing person’s complaint in the Konaje police station.

The police started their search for Fiona and in the process questioned Samson.  Finally, Samsom admitted to the crime and said that he had hit Fiona with a hammer, dragged her body and dumped it in the bushes behind the house. When the police checked the spot they found Fiona’s skeletal remains.

Samson was addicted to drugs and was not going out of the house for many days. On October 6, Francis had taken Samson’s mobile and given it to Fiona. When Francis had gone out, Samson fought with Fiona over the mobile and in a fit of rage hit Fiona with a hammer. Thinking that Fiona was dead, he dragged her body and dumped it in the bushes behind the house.

Samson was studying in an Engineering College. Because of his addiction to drugs, he was short of attendance and was debarred from the college.
