In what is being suspected as a case of honour killing, a police constable murdered three members of his family, including two children, in Ranchi, Jharkhand, police said on Saturday.
The deceased have been identified as wife, daughter and son of a police constable named Brijesh Tiwari.
The accused, constable Brijesh Tiwari, was reportedly in an inebriated condition at the time of committing the crime.
Brajesh Tiwari killed his wife, teenage daughter and son with a hammer and a knife and later tried to commit suicide by consuming poison. The accused constable is undergoing treatment at a hospital and said to be in a critical condition.
According to locals, the accused constable’s daughter was having an affair with a guy from another community, and this might have been the reason behind the crime.
According to preliminary investigation, the accused, after killing his wife and two children, called his sister who lives in Pandara in Ranchi and said “I have killed the three”.
Following this, Brijesh’s sister reached the scene with her family immediately. The murderer’s sister then woke up his landlord, Baldev Sahu, and told him about the killing.
The landlord said that he had never seen the couple fighting. He added that there was a bottle of liquor, rat medicine and other medicines at the crime scene.
Landlord Baldev Sahu also said that Brajesh’s family had been living in that house for the last two years but never witnessed a quarrel within the family.
Sahu suspected that the accused may have fed his wife and children some medicines which made them unconscious and then carried out murder.
