A man and woman were discovered dead in Dhanusha district, while their four year old son suffered injuries in a situation currently under police investigation.
The incident occurred in Mathileshwar, Ward No. 3 of Mithila Bihari Municipality. Rina Devi Yadav, 30, was found with suspected stab wounds to her neck.
About one kilometer from their home, authorities later located the body of her 35 year old husband, Umesh Yadav.
“Everything appears suspicious, so we have initiated an investigation,” stated Deputy Superintendent of Police Om Prakash Khanal, spokesperson for the Dhanusha District Police Office.
Four Year Old Boy Injured
The couple’s four year old son was also discovered with an injury to his thigh. Reports indicate he received initial care at a local clinic before being transferred to the Provincial Hospital in Janakpur.
Details regarding how the child was injured remain unclear.
Ensuring the child receives appropriate treatment is a top priority.
Ongoing Police Investigation
Authorities are looking into the circumstances surrounding the incident.
Reports suggest that Umesh visited his in laws the night before and is suspected of attacking his wife and son before fleeing. His body was later found approximately one kilometer from their residence.
No final conclusions have been made by the police.
The woman’s body has been sent to the Provincial Hospital in Janakpur for a post mortem examination to ascertain the cause of death. Evidence has also been collected from the scene.
Husband Recently Returned from Abroad
Initial reports indicate that Umesh had just returned from working abroad and had arrived at his in laws’ home the day before the bodies were discovered.
It remains to be seen whether this or any family issues contributed to the incident. Investigators are still examining the evidence.
Investigation Continues
This incident raises concerns, especially given that a young child was injured and both parents were found deceased.
The police have emphasized that they continue to investigate to clarify the sequence of events. More information may be disclosed once the investigation and post-mortem are complete.
The safety and care of the child remain critical concerns.
