"Of these, 16 murders were committed on sudden provocation on trivial issues, Delhi Police Public Relations Officer Madhur Verma said.
Twenty-nine murders were committed due to personal enmity and property disputes, compared with 23 in 2016. Family disputes led to 17 murders during the period, compared with 10 in 2016.
In 70 to 80 per cent murder cases, the victims and the suspects were unknown to each others, Verma said.
He said four cases of robbery and thefts were also reported in the first three months of 2017, as against 13 last year, with the decrease attributed to increased police visibility and foot patrols.
