A Czech teenage boy was today arrested for killing his girlfriend in a guest house at Baga beach village in Goa, police said.

19-year-old Paval Neuhasl, was arrested for murdering 24-year-old Narkela Horka, a Czech too, last night, Deputy Superintendent of Police N C Raikar told PTI.

The murder drama unfolded last night when Mapusa police found the boyfriend in an unconscious state with minor wounds near Thivim Railway Station, 30 kms away from Baga.

During investigation, he claimed to have been kidnapped by two Indian men, who allegedly barged into the guest house where he stayed with his girlfriend.
 

Calangute Police who took over the case inspected the guest house only to find the girl dead in a pool of blood in the early hours today.

Raikar said there were stab injuries on her neck. Police who took Paval into custody, interrogated him during the day today, when he confessed of killing his girlfriend and staging the kidnap drama to run away from suspicion, Raikar said.

The motive behind the murder is yet to be revealed as the interrogation is still on, he added.
