In his statement Khurshid said that when he looked inside he found his wife Naazni lying in a pool of blood. The other two kids Shaheen and Ahmad were also lying dead in his house and his entire house was filled with blood.

Khurshid said the accused Daya used to frequently trouble his wife and that he had professed his love her.

A case under Section 302 (punishment for murder) of the IPC has been registered by the police.

It is pertinent to mention here that the accused was out on bail as he was earlier arrested in a murder case, for which he was sentenced to life term imprisonment. He was released on bail after having completed 8 years of sentence. Meanwhile, the district police officials said that they will ask the court to sentence him with capital punishment as he brutally killed three children with hammer.
