A horrifying incident of quadruple murder has deeply disturbed the residents of Samaypur Badli in outer Delhi. The victims, a woman, and her three young children were tragically found with their throats slashed on Wednesday morning. The main suspect in this brutal crime is the woman’s husband, Munchun Kewat, who is currently on the run.
The victims were discovered in their home in Chandan Park, where they resided together. The deceased woman, Anita, lived with her husband and their three daughters, aged three, four, and five, in a rented room. Kewat, originally from Patna, Bihar, worked as a vegetable vendor at the Azadpur Mandi.
DCP Hareshwar V. Swami mentioned that the police received a distress call around 8:00 AM from the Chandan Park area. Upon reaching the scene, law enforcement found the woman and her daughters with fatal neck injuries caused by a sharp weapon. The husband’s absence and suspicious behavior have led authorities to consider him the primary suspect. Although the exact motive is yet to be determined, initial reports hint at a possible domestic altercation the night before.
Following the discovery of the crime, a team of investigators and forensic specialists was promptly dispatched to the location. The bodies have been taken for postmortem examinations to establish the precise cause of death. Neighbors, shocked by the heinous nature of the incident, recounted hearing cries early in the morning, indicating a distressing event had unfolded.
Expressing disbelief at the tragic turn of events, a resident who first encountered the distressing scene recalled hearing continuous crying around 7:00 AM. Initially mistaking it for a child’s fall, the neighbor was alarmed when the cries persisted. The family had been residing in the area for approximately six to seven months, with the husband typically leaving for work at 4:00 AM to sell ginger. The gruesome discovery was made by neighbors around 6:00 AM.
Efforts to locate Kewat are underway, with multiple police teams assigned to the task. The bodies of the victims have been transferred to a mortuary for further examination. A case has been filed under Section 103(1) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, dealing with murder charges.
