Beldanga Murder-Suicide Under Investigation After Three Found Dead in Murshidabad
Police cite initial evidence of murder-suicide in a Beldanga home, with forensic and autopsy results pending.
Overview
- Police identified the deceased as Sanjit Halder, 40, his wife Mousumi, 28, and their son Rayan, 7.
- Sanjit's mother discovered him hanging on Wednesday morning, and neighbours forced entry to find Mousumi and Rayan in a pool of blood.
- Initial findings suggest the wife and child were killed on Tuesday night by having their throats slit before the husband died by suicide.
- Officers recovered the bodies and sent them for post-mortem examination as forensic teams collect samples from the scene.
- Relatives reported ongoing marital tension, and neighbours described Sanjit as soft-spoken, which investigators are noting as they explore possible motives.
