Son Kills Parents With Axe, Hangs Himself

It all started when Subhash and Latabai’s grandchildren showed up at the house and got no answer, even after knocking again and again. Worried, they called their father, Sharad, who runs an agricultural center nearby.

Some villagers broke open a window and came face-to-face with a terrible scene, Subhash and Latabai were lying in blood, and Vishal’s body was hanging from a rope.

Nobody in the area heard a thing. The house sits far from the main road, and most of the villagers were away at a funeral when it happened.

Subhash was a hardworking farmer. He raised his sons as best he could, but Vishal struggled with alcoholism for years. His wife left him because of it, and his older brother Sharad moved out after getting married. People in the village said Vishal had a habit of pestering them for money to buy liquor. Family members often had to stop him from selling farm produce or household items to pay for his addiction.
