Bihar: Man murders pregnant wife and 2 children in Kaimur district

SASARAM: One Lal Babu Sah, a vendor, allegedly killed his pregnant wife, Moti Devi, and two minor children, Khushi (6) and Shivam Kumar (2), with sharp weapons at Sondihara village in Kaimur district on Tuesday night. His neighbours caught him and handed him over to police.
According to police sources, domestic tiff is stated to be the reason behind the gruesome murders. Lal’s parents, who live with him, were not present in the house at the time of the incident.
The SHO of Bhabhua police station, Ramchandra Mandal, told this reporter on Wednesday that the accused tried to destroy evidence by cleaning the blood-stained clothes, floor and weapons. “We recovered two sharp weapons from the spot,” he added.
An FIR lodged by Phoolendra Sah, the father-in-law of the accused, stated that Moti and Lal had tied the knot 10 years ago. The two used to fight with each other constantly. The neighbours saw them fighting even on Tuesday evening.
“Later, Lal attacked his nine-month pregnant wife and two children with sharp weapons while they were asleep and killed them on the spot. He tried to dispose of the bodies, but one of his neighbours saw him and suspected foul play. He asked the other villagers to assemble there and found the three bodies,” a police source said.
