The mystery behind the murder of an elderly couple in Kaitha village of Janjgir-Champa district of Chhattisgarh has been exposed. No one else but his son-in-law turned out to kill both of them. The police disclosed this on Tuesday. The son-in-law killed his mother-in-law and father-in-law because he had told that his wife was having a relationship with a non-man. Instead of convincing the daughter, the mother-in-law and father-in-law had assaulted the son-in-law, due to which he was angry.
Janjgir-Champa SP Dr Abhishek Pallav said that the dead body of elderly Vijay Ram and his wife Mangli Bai was found in Kaitha village on Monday. Neighbors informed the police after the foul smell emanated from the house. After interrogation, the police had detained Dinesh Khunte, the son-in-law of the elderly couple. The elderly couple has four daughters and a son. Police said that Dinesh Khunte had informed his mother-in-law about his wife having an illicit relationship with a non-man. After this, the mother-in-law instead of explaining to her daughter started beating her son-in-law.
Mother-in-law insulted and beat up
The SP said that during interrogation, accused Dinesh Khunte told the police that he was feeling humiliated by his mother-in-law and father-in-law for assaulting him. Even after telling his daughter’s handiwork, he considered her guilty, so he planned the murder. He also included two of his friends in this plan. According to the planning, Dinesh Khunte along with his associates entered his mother-in-law’s house on the night of 26 March and slit his throat with a sharp knife.
Neighbors had informed when the house smelled
After the murder, the three went away after closing the door of the house from outside. The people around did not pay attention as the door of the house was closed. Two days later, on March 28, when the bad smell started emanating from the house, people informed the police. The bodies of both were found inside the house. The corpses were on the verge of decomposition. The police handed over the bodies to the relatives after getting the PM done. He has been sent to jail after taking action against him under section 302, 450. Two other accused are absconding in the case who are being sought.
