Man, 7-year-old son found murdered at home in Ghaziabad

GHAZIABAD: A 35-year-old man and his seven-year-old son were found murdered inside their house in Tronica City on Thursday morning.
Police said the accused first hit the two on the head with a blunt object and then stabbed them in the throat and stomach multiple times with a knife.
Since there was no sign of forced entry, the cops believe the accused was known to Naimul Hasan and his son Ubesh.
Hasan, originally from Sambhal in UP, had been living in Tronica City for the past seven years with his family — his wife Saima (30) and their four children, including Ubesh.
Hasan would work in a furniture store in Rampark Colony along with his two brothers — Mamnoon and Janjar Hasan. His wife and three children had gone to Bihar last week for the wedding of a relative.
It was Hasan’s nephew Arbaaz who saw the father-son duo dead on two different cots when he went to his house to ask for a helmet on Thursday morning.
“The first thing that struck Arbaaz was that the door flung open. When he entered the house, he saw both of them lying dead. There was blood all over. He came back and informed me about the murders. I called up the police,” said Mamnoon.
Atul Sonkar, the circle officer of Loni, said the bodies had been sent for an autopsy and the reports were awaited. Saima, who was told about the murders, is on her way to Ghaziabad with her children.
“We are checking CCTV footage from nearby areas. We might get clues soon,” he added.
The police have found the motor of a ceiling fan on the ground with stains of blood on it.
It is believed that the father-son duo may have been attacked with it first.
“Someone known to the family may have come home, had dinner and even gone to sleep with the father and son. The accused may have attacked both of them in their sleep. He first hit them with a blunt object and then stabbed them in the throat and stomach,” said Iraj Raja, SP (rural).
An FIR for murder has been lodged against unknown persons at Tronica City police station.
Three teams have been formed to nab the accused.
