Adolescent dies due to superstition in Howrah
Superstitions claimed the life of a 12-year-old adolescent boy in Udaynarayanpur in Howrah, hardly 45km from the state secretariat, Nabanna.
A couple and their two children were found dead in a house here early on Monday, police said.
Superintendent of Police Shashi Mohan Singh said: “Prima facie, it looks like murder. It’s possible that the husband, Ashok Prajapati, killed his wife and kids and then committed suicide.
“While Prajapati’s body was found in the kitchen, the bodies of his wife and five-year-old daughter and two-year-old son were found on a bed.”
