According to sources, the double murder took place due to property dispute between KapraTuddu and her brother-in-law Ratan Tuddu.

Kapra was the widow of Kade Tuddu, a police constable who was killed during his duty at Deoghar in 2000.  Ever since his murder, Kapra used to get pension.

According to Paswan, Hemo Tuddu was married three months ago and today was his reception at Chingra village.

“In view of reception there was tent and other arrangements at the house, Kapra Tuddu was asleep outside the house under a tent where as Hemo and his wife had slept inside.  Ratan slit the throat of Kapra first.  As there was noise, Hemo came out and saw his uncle while killing his mother. As he tried to counter attack, Ratan slit his throat also and asked Hemo’s wife to flee otherwise she would also be killed.  After the gruesome act Ratan went to the Dumaria police station  and surrendered with the knife he had used in committing the two murders,” said OC, Dumaria police station .
