A woman allegedly killed her husband with an axe after which her stepson reportedly strangled her in the Margubpur village of Bahadarabad police station area on Sunday. The youth who had killed his stepmother for killing his father reached the police station and informed the police about the double murder.

According to the police, Tauheed (22) reached Bahadrabad police station and told the police that after a quarrel between his father Inamul Haq and stepmother Sitara, she had fatally assaulted him on the neck with an axe. Following this, Tauheed strangled her to death. The police visited the scene of the crime after receiving this information.

According to the police, Haq (60) married Sitara (45) a few years ago. This was his second marriage and his son Tauheed from his first marriage lived with them. A few days ago there was a dispute between the couple after which Sitara went to her maternal home. She had returned on Saturday night after which there was a quarrel between them on Sunday. In a fit of rage, Sitara allegedly killed Haq with an axe. Arriving at the scene, Tauheed saw the body of his father on a cot and reportedly strangled his stepmother. Instead of running away from the spot after carrying out the incident, Tauheed surrendered to the police and informed them about the murders.

Haridwar superintendent of police (City) Swatantra Kumar Singh said that the accused himself has given information about the murders to the police. The accused is being questioned about other reasons for the murder while the bodies have been sent for post-mortem, he added.
