A horrifying triple murder has shaken Uttar Pradesh’s Ghazipur district, where a 35-year-old man allegedly killed his parents and sister with an axe following a land dispute. The incident took place in Dilia village under the jurisdiction of the cityKotwali police station on Sunday morning.
According to police, the accused, identified as Abhay, attacked his 70 year old father Shivram Yadav, his mother Jamuni Devi, and sister Kusum after a violent argument. Kusum had reportedly been given 15 biswa of land by her father a month ago, which had caused growing tensions within the household. Local residents alerted police after hearing screams, but Abhay fled the scene before officers arrived.
A blood-stained axe was recovered from the site. Police officials, including SP Dr. Iraj Raja, ASP City Gyanendra Nath Prasad, and CO City Shekhar Singh, reached the spot and began an investigation. Neighbors stated that Kusum had returned to live with her parents after two failed marriages, a decision that reportedly angered her brother.
The triple murder has left the community in shock, and a manhunt is underway to apprehend the accused. Police are investigating multiple angles surrounding the motive.
