hacks to deathBangalore, Jul 1: A 45-year-old man allegedly attacked his three daughters with a machete at home in Tunganagar, off Magadi Road on Monday evening, killing the two younger girls and critically injuring the eldest.

Ramesh, an autorickshaw driver whose vehicle had been seized by those who had lent him money, allegedly tried to kill himself with the same machete. Jurisdictional Ramanagaram district police did not reveal where they found Ramesh who was admitted to a nearby private hospital.

While Monisha, 7, and Monica, 10, died, Dharini, 14, is battling for life in a private hospital.

Tunganagar is in Magadi taluk of Ramanagaram district and about 12km from the city.

Ramesh is said to be deep in debt. He attacked the girls around 7pm when Gowramma was at work. A neighbour reportedly visited their first-floor home and asked for Gowramma. The children told the neighbour that she was expected to return soon.

After the neighbour left, Ramesh walked into the house and bolted the doors. He went to the kitchen and took out a machete. In his hurry, he dropped some vessels. Realizing that the girls had been alerted by his action, he barged into the bedroom and attacked the kids sitting on the bed.

Monisha, who was hit on her head, died instantly. Monica was hit on the neck and she too died on the spot. Dharini was hit on the jaw.

Building owner Annapoorna said she heard a commotion and rushed out of her ground floor house and went to Ramesh's house.

She raised a hue and cry on seeing Ramesh attacking the girls. Even as Ramesh fled, other neighbours arrived on the scene and rushed Dharini to hospital.

A photograph from the crime scene showed the two girls lying on the blood-spattered floor, with their faces badly mutilated.

Anupam Agrawal, superintendent of police, Ramanagaram district, confirmed that Ramesh was in custody.

Neighbours said Ramesh's autorickshaw had been seized rendering him jobless. "One of us tried to get him a job of an office assistant but it did not work out. Ramesh was frustrated that he didn't have a job," they said.

May 11: Two youths allegedly gang-raped a teen and then hacked to death her 11-year old brother, who had seen their act, in a bid to hide their crime, at a village in Uttar Pradesh's Etah district, about 300 kilometres from here.

Police sources said that two youths, resident of the same village, barged into the house of the teen, when she was alone, and allegedly gang-raped her.

The victim's minor brother suddenly came into the house and protested after he witnessed his sister being sexually assaulted, sources said. The youths allegedly strangled the minor with a towel.

The alleged culprits, who hailed from influential families, 'forced' the victim's parents to bury their son and warned them against approaching the cops.

The parents, however, gathered courage and met senior police officials in Etah on Sunday after a case was registered in this regard. Police said that the body of the minor would be exhumed and a postmortem examination would be conducted.
