Lakhan’s legs and hands were also tied.
It was reported that the accused told detectives they visited Lakhan’s home and were imbibing.
Outar alleged that the father of one began making ‘advances’ towards him and he became upset and left the home. It was reported that the accused told investigators that he returned to Lakhan’s home with a friend and they strangled the 53-year-old man and tied a cord around his neck to make it look like suicide.
An Xbox, clothing and other valuable were removed from the dead man’s home.
