It is another story of brutality. A father slaughtered his two sleeping kids and injured his wife in a drunken condition. Not only that, the same man also chopped his three pet goats in a state of frenzy.
Police said, the inhuman incident took place at Gainighata village of North Harbang under Chakaria upazila in Cox’s Bazar district at about 2:30 am on Tuesday. Police arrested the killer father, Abul Kashem, 45, who is a Rohingya settler.
The victims were identified as Jamal Uddin, 8, and Tanjila, 3, son and daughter of Abul Kashem while the injured as Saira Khatun, 35, wife of the killer.
When contacted, Officer-in-Charge [OC] of Chakaria Police Station Probhash Chandra Dhar said, “Kashem alias Mokkasu had been living in the hill side village of Gainakata in North Harbang with his family. A quarrel began between him and his wife at night. He became more arrogant after taking alcohol.”
“At one stage, Kashem tried to slaughter his eldest son, but he managed to flee away. Afterward, he hacked his eight-year-old son Jamal Uddin and three-year-old daughter Tanjila, and then slaughtered three goats,” the OC said.
Panel Chairman of Harbang Union Parishad Rashid Ahmed said, Abul Kashem along with his wife and two children had been living in the Rohingya polli for the last 7/8 years.
The couple often used to lock in to altercation over trifling matters and Abul Kashem used to take intoxicating drugs and alcohol regularly. As a sequel to that, arrived the fateful night.
At one stage, he started biting his wife Saira Khatun, 35. Being crazy, Abul Kashem hit his children with a sharp weapon, leaving them dead on the spot. Saira escaped the scene with
multiple injuries. Kashem also slaughtered three of their goats.
Hearing the shouting, villagers rushed to the spot and managed to catch Kashem and handed him over to police. Five people were injured while over powering the culprit. Police later recovered the bodies and sent them to Chakaria Sadar Hospital morgue.
It was the second incident of such killing of own children by father in a span of two months in Chakaria Upazila. Earlier on May 15, a father slaughtered three of his daughters allegedly because of marital problems in the same area.
