A youth has been arrested for allegedly murdering two sisters, aged around 20 and 12 years, at their residence in east Delhi's Khichripur area, police said today.
The incident came to light at 11 AM yesterday, when a neighbour found the bodies of the two girls on a bed, while their parents were not at home.
The police were informed and from preliminary investigation it emerged that the girls were strangled to death while they were sleeping, said a police official.
