A mason reportedly axed his wife and three children aged below seven years to death at their tin-shed hut on the Singhania road in Narnaul town here on Tuesday night.

The man fled the spot after bolting the gate of the hut.

The deceased have been identified as Aarti (29), his two sons—Arun (7) and Arvind (6), daughter Sandhya (4) — while the City police station has registered a case of murder against the mason, identified as Tulsidas of Chhatarpur district (Madhya Pradesh).

The exact reason behind the killings is yet to be ascertained while the accused is stated to be habitual drunk.

The crime came to the fore today when the neighbour found the door closed by noon.

Suspecting something fishy, they opened the door and found the four dead lying in a pool of blood on the floor of the hut.

They immediately informed the police which rushed to the spot and sent the bodies to civil hospital for post-mortem. The axe used in the crime was also recovered from the spot, said the sources.

Manoj Kumar, SHO, City Police Station, said efforts were underway to arrest the accused who was absconding. 

“Kin of the deceased woman have been informed about the incident. They will arrive in Narnaul tomorrow to receive the bodies after post-mortem,” he added.
