Pet detective: Police were led to a man who murdered an Indian journalist's wife by the family's parrot who screeched every time he heard the name of the suspect (file picture)

An Indian journalist managed to catch the person who killed his wife after getting a tip off - from their pet parrot.

Vijay Sharma, the editor of a Hindi daily newspaper in Agra in the northern state of Uttar Pradesh, returned home to find both his wife Neelam Sharma, 45, and her pet dog, had been murdered.

The only survivor was Hercule the pet parrot, but he had been stunned into silence after witnessing the horrific killings.

The house had also been ransacked and jewellery and cash stolen.

Police had no obvious leads, but that changed when Vijay's nephew Ashutosh visited their house after the murder.

Mr Sharma said: 'The parrot that was unusually quiet suddenly started shrieking and flapping around the cage.

'It was clearly distressed about something and only calmed down when Ashutosh left.

'Then when I spoke to other people, every time I mentioned Ashutosh's name the parrot would start screeching.

'This made me really suspicious and I decided to call the police.'

Police spokesman Shalabh Mathur said they looked at Ashutosh's phone records after being told he may be a suspect and found cause to bring him in for questioning.

Mr Mathur said: 'He said that he had gone together with a friend to his uncle's house with the intent of stealing and have been surprised by his aunt, who they had killed because they were worried she would have identified them to police. They had then robbed the place before fleeing.

'He admitted he had also killed the dog worried that it could be used in an identity parade against him, but had not thought about killing the parrot which had been silent in its cage.'

Scene: The murder took place at Mr Sharma's home in Agra (above) in the northern state of Uttar Pradesh
