Talking Parrot Helps Police Solve Mysterious Murder Case

What’s next? Parrots hanging out at doughnut shops?

On February 20, Neelam Sharma and her pet dog were found murdered in Agra, India. Police were baffled by the case until they got an tip from Sharma’s husband, Vijayy Sharma.

After the murder, Sharma noticed that whenever his nephew Ashutosh visited his home or was mentioned, Hercule the parrot changed his behavior.

“During discussions too, whenever Ashutosh’s name was mentioned, the parrot would start screeching. This raised my suspicion and I informed the police,” Sharma told the Times of India.

Police detained Ashutosh, who quickly confessed to murdering his aunt and her dog.
