GRUESOME MURDER

A family was brutally murdered by one of its members,
all for the fear of a relationship not being accepted.

19-year-old Sonam is accused of killing seven members of her own family and her lover, Naveen, abetted the crime.
when Sonam's family found out that they were in love, the two decided to kill them all. Police claim Sonam poisoned her parents, brother, grandmother and three cousins.
They knew that when they wanted to marry officially the family would oppose it. The parents and grandmother would never allow their wedding so they decided to kill them," said Anil Kumar Rao, SSP Rohtak.

Police say it was tough case to crack. A breakthrough was possible only after they questioned Sonam who gave it away during interrogation. Now, Sonam appears remorseful.
I have done a wrong thing, I know that," said Sonam Daggar.
Marriage within the same clan is a strict no-no in rural Haryana. Village panchayats are dead opposed to any such relationship and there have been many killings in the name of protecting family honour.

But this case has come as a shock to many, who feel it will only fuel the anger and hatred against same-clan marriages.

An emotion is a mental and physiological state associated with a wide variety of feelings, thoughts, and behavior. Emotions are subjective experiences, often associated with mood, temperament, personality, and disposition
Some emotions occur over a period of seconds where others can last years A distinction is then made between emotion episodes and emotional dispositions. Dispositions are also comparable to character traits, where someone may be said to be generally disposed to experience certain emotions, though about different objects. For example an irritable person is generally disposed to feel irritation more easily or quickly than others

Horror is the feeling of revulsion that usually occurs after something frightening is seen, heard, or otherwise experienced. It is the feeling one gets after coming to an awful realization or experiencing a deeply unpleasant occurrence. By contrast, terror is usually described as the feeling of dread and anticipation that precedes the horrifying experience. In other words, horror is more related to being shocked or scared (being horrified), while terror is more related to being anxious or fearful (being terrified) (Varma 1966). Horror has also been defined as a combination of terror and revulsion.

The distinction between terror and horror was first characterised by the Gothic horror writer Ann Radcliffe (1764-1823). Terror is characterised by ‘obscurity’ or indeterminacy in its treatment of potentially horrible events – it is this indeterminacy which leads to the sublime. She says in the essay that it ‘expands the soul and awakens the faculties to a high degree of life’. Horror in contrast, ‘freezes and nearly annihilates them’ with its unambiguous displays of atrocity. She goes on ‘I apprehend that neither Shakespeare nor Milton by their fictions, nor Mr Burke by his reasoning, anywhere looked to positive horror as a source of the sublime, though they all agree that terror is a very high one; and where lies the great difference between horror and terror, but in uncertainty and obscurity, that accompany the first, respecting the dreader evil’ (Radcliffe: 1826).

According to Devendra Varma in The Gothic Flame (1966):

The difference between Terror and Horror is the difference between awful apprehension and sickening realization: between the smell of death and stumbling against a corpse.

Horror is also a genre of film and fiction that relies on horrifying images or situations to tell stories and prompt reactions in their audiences. In these films the moment of horrifying revelation is usually preceded by a terrifying build up, often using the medium of scary music (Wisker 2005).
