Youth, servant found dead in Etawah

Kanpur: A 21-year-old son of a former village head was found hacked to death while his 30-year-old servant was found hanging near his body in Nagla Nariya village under the limits of Jaswantnagar police station in Etawah district on Monday morning.
According to police, the deceased have been identified as Mayank Yadav, son of a former village head -mlesh Kumar Yadav, and a native of Nagla Nariya village in Jaswantnagar and Mukesh, their servant, from neighbouring Firozabad district.
Police said it appeared that Mukesh, who as per former village head’s family members, was a little feeble minded, had first hacked his employer’s son to death and later ended his life by hanging himself.
Police said that the two on Sunday night had their dinner and later went to sleep in one of the rooms of the house.
However, when they did not come out of the room early Monday morning, the family members visited the room and found Mayank with grievous wounds lying in a pool of blood, while the servant Mukesh’s body was found hanging from the ceiling. They then informed the police. Their bodies were sent to district hospital for postmortem examination.
SSP Etawah Brijesh Kumar Singh said, “It look as if Mayank was murdered by his servant Mukesh, who too later committed suicide by hanging himself. The latter as per Mayank’s family was of feeble mind. One of the former village head’s relatives, who also belongs to Firozabad, had brought Mukesh to their place. We have apprised Mukesh’s family members about the incident. However, we are working on all possible angles to ascertain their exact cause of death and are awaiting an autopsy report.”
