A shocking triple murder has emerged from Uttar Pradesh’s Ghazipur, where a man allegedly killed his parents and sister with an axe and was later arrested by the police. The accused reportedly confessed that a land dispute and ongoing family tensions led him to carry out the killings.
According to a report by Amar Ujala, the incident took place on July 27 in Diliya village, which falls under the jurisdiction of Khanpur police station. The victims were identified as Shivram Yadav (65), his wife Jamuni Devi (60) and their daughter Kusum Devi (36). They were killed outside their home with an axe. Days after the brutal attack, their son Abhay Yadav alias Bhuttan Yadav was arrested near Chaukia crossing on Thursday night.
Relative Files FIR, Police Begin Search for Accused
Following the triple murder, a named FIR was reportedly registered against Abhay Yadav by a family relative, Amar Nath. The police then launched a search operation to locate him. According to Ghazipur ASP (City) Gyanendra Prasad, teams were deployed and the accused was eventually tracked down. He was arrested around 2 AM near the Chaukia crossing area, Amar Ujala reported.
After his arrest, Abhay was interrogated by the police. He confessed to killing all three family members. He claimed that he was driven by greed and long-standing resentment related to property and personal family issues.
Sister’s Two Marriages Became A Source Of Conflict
The accused reportedly told police that his sister, Kusum Devi, had gone through two marriages, both of which ended in disputes. As per Amar Ujala, her first marriage took place in Jaitpura and dowry was given by the family at the time. But the relationship did not last and ended after conflicts. Later, she was married again in Hatikhana, but that relationship also broke down.
He also said that his sister’s two failed marriages had become a major source of tension at home. According to the report, he believed these incidents had brought embarrassment to the family and led to frequent arguments. He also alleged that Kusum had started to dominate family matters and had turned their parents against him.
Property Transfer To Sister Created Rift
Another major point of conflict, as per the police interrogation, was a land dispute. The accused reportedly said that a piece of land had been transferred in Kusum Devi’s name. He alleged that his sister took control of the property through their parents’ support.
Fight Before Murders
As per the Amar Ujala report, the accused told police that a heated argument broke out in the family before the murders. Kusum Devi was also present during this confrontation. In a fit of rage, Abhay allegedly attacked her with an axe first. He then turned to his mother and father and killed them as well.
