NEW DELHI, Apr 17 (NNN-PTI) – All five members of a family, including a couple and their three children, were found dead at a village, in India’s northern state of Uttar Pradesh, the local police said yesterday.
The alleged murders took place at Khagalpur village, in the state’s Prayagraj district, on Friday night, said the police.
According to the police, it appeared that the head of the family, first killed his family members, before ending his own life.
“The body of the house owner, Rahul, was found hanging from the ceiling with a saree, and it had no injury marks. Three chairs were stacked where his body was found, indicating that he committed suicide,” said the local cop, adding that, the bodies of Rahul’s wife and three daughters bore injury marks inflicted by a sharp-edged weapon, which suggest “murder.”
Several police teams have been formed to probe the case, and the bodies have been sent for a post-mortem examination, said the local police.– NNN-PTI
