Bihar: Three men kill father, stepmother, stepbrothers over property; arrested
Three men have been arrested for killing their father, stepmother, and two stepbrothers at Banchauri village in Bihar's Sitamarhi district. Prima facie, it seems the killing was a fallout of a property dispute, police said. Reportedly, the three men shot their father Ramvilas Rao (60), his second wife Sunita Devi, and two sons before slitting their throats with a sharp weapon around midnight yesterday.
The accused's mother is still on run
The trio accused, who lived with their mother Mantuniya Devi in the same village, was apprehended by the police this morning after a night-long hunt, Sadar Deputy Superintendent of Police Kumar Veer Dhirendra said. Mantuniya Devi, however, is still on the run, he said, adding that the four bodies have been sent to Sadar hospital for the post-mortem.
