The incidents, involving a brutal double murder and the discovery of an unidentified burnt body, have left the local community in shock as authorities scramble to investigate.
Double Murder in Jethouna Village
In the first case, a horrific double murder was reported from Jethouna village under the Khudaganj police station area on Tuesday night. The victims have been identified as 32-year-old Sanisha Devi and her 14-year-old daughter Sneha Kumari, who were found dead inside their home.
According to family members, the initial information suggested the victims were lying unconscious. However, when relatives arrived from Bela village in Gaya, they discovered both Sanisha and Sneha deceased. Soni Kumari, the deceased woman's sister, alleged that there was a strangulation mark around her sister's neck, while her niece had multiple injury marks around the neck area.
Police have taken the woman's husband, Sanjay Kumar, into custody as the primary suspect. Officials revealed that the accused is mentally unstable and was undergoing treatment at the time of the incident. Preliminary findings indicate that Sneha was strangled, while Sanisha died after her neck was allegedly twisted. Both victims died on the spot.
Hilsa DSP-II Rishiraj confirmed that the crime scene has been secured and a forensic team has been called in to assist with the ongoing investigation. The bodies have been sent to Biharsharif sadar hospital for postmortem examination. Meanwhile, the accused has been shifted to Bhagwan Mahavir Institute of Medical Sciences (BMIMS) in Pawapuri for treatment and further questioning.
Unidentified Burnt Body Found in Laheri Area
In a separate incident on Wednesday morning, a partially burnt unidentified body was recovered outside a shop in the market committee locality under Laheri police station area. The discovery has triggered panic among local residents and traders in the area.
Police suspect that the victim was murdered elsewhere and the body was subsequently dumped at the site after being set on fire in an attempt to destroy evidence. Biharsharif sadar SDPO Nurul Haque stated that the body was found near Devisarai Chowk.
