Out of job and in debt, ex-security officer kills wife, daughter

March 31, 2010

A debt-ridden former security officer with the Merchant Navy allegedly murdered his wife and minor daughter at their house in neighbouring Thane district on Tuesday.


Rajesh Kumar (42) told the police that he wanted to kill himself too. He hit his wife Sangeeta (41) and five-year-old daughter Tanishka on their head with a rod, injuring them seriously. He then went to his elder daughter Ayushi (16) and told her about the incident.

"Kumar took the injured to a nearby hospital after telling his neighbours in Kasarwadi area and friends about the incident. His wife died on way to the hospital, while his daughter died during treatment," Inspector Kasarwadi police station Pramod Khade said.

"He was frustrated as he had no job and had a home loan to pay. Rajesh claimed he would have killed himself after murdering his wife and daughter. But, later he thought whatever he had done was wrong and tried to save them by taking them to hospital," he said.

Rajesh, who was jobless after his contract as security officer ended, was arrested from the hospital and charged with double murder.
