New Delhi: A 55-year-old property dealer living in the capital allegedly hacked his wife to death with an axe and tried to kill his two children, injuring them both in the neck. Vijay Veer, the accused, often used to have a row with his 50-year-old wife over dowry, and after one such fight Thursday, he attacked her with an axe while she was asleep, police said.
His extramarital affairs was another reason for fights between the couple. According to police, Veer used to resent the fact that both the children, son aged 28 and daughter 30, supported their mother.
The matter was reported Thursday around 6.30 am by the daughter, a law graduate, who said her mother was attacked with an axe by her father. When police reached the spot, they found Suman, the wife, lying on the bed in a pool of blood with multiple cuts to her neck and Vijay Veer with an injured hand. Both the children were found injured in the neck and forehead. They told police that their father had attacked them with an axe. Police took the four of them to a hospital, where Suman was declared brought dead.
According to police, Suman had married Veer, originally from Garh Mukteshwar in Uttar Pradesh, in 1992. Upon checking his antecedents, they found Vijay Veer had been arrested in 2017 too for opening fire at his family during a row with his wife and wounding his son Shashank. At that time, he was booked under section 307 of the Indian Penal Code at Mehrauli Police Station and sent to jail. He was later released since the family refused to press charges and proceedings were quashed, police said.
On Thursday morning, he attacked his wife with an axe while she was sleeping. After that, he went to the room of his children and attacked them with the same axe. They somehow snatched the axe from him and bolted themselves inside their room and made a call to the police, said a police officer.
