New Delhi, June 12: Apparently fed up with strained relations with his wife, a 25-year-old man allegedly axed his two minor daughters to death at a
village here, on Friday police said.
Yogesh Sharma murdered his two daughters – Aarti (4) and one-and-half-year-old Priyanshi – with a sharp edged weapon on Thursday when his wife Rinki was not present in the house at Jever village in Gautam Buddha Nagar district, Superintendent of Police (Rural) S K Verma said.
The accused then tried to hide the bodies by stuffing them into a sack but later walked up to the police station and confessed the crime, the officer said.
Verma said though the exact reason behind the crime is yet to be ascertained, the in-laws of Sharma have alleged that Yogesh had illicit relations with some other woman and used to quarrel with his wife over the issue.
However, police said that the accused has blamed his in-laws for demanding money and that he was “fed up” with the daily family demands.
He said he wanted to commit suicide after killing his daughters, Verma added.
