Man Fatally Shoots Wife, Throws Three Minor Children Into Canal After She Refuses To Have Sex

A 34-year-old Indian man shot his wife to death after she refused to have sex with him. In a fit of anger, the man killed his three minor children by throwing them into a canal.

The horrifying incident took place Tuesday, May 25, at the Basedi village in Uttar Pradesh.

The accused, identified as Pappu, shot and killed his 36-year-old wife, Dolly, following an argument after she reportedly refused to be physically intimate with him for the last 15 days.

He also murdered his 5-year-old daughter Sonia, 3-year-old son Vansh, and 15-month-old daughter Harshita, by throwing them alive into a canal. Their bodies have not been discovered yet, Deshraj Singh, the in-charge of the Purkazi police station, said.

Local residents alerted the police who immediately responded to the home and arrested the suspect.

The suspect confessed to the killing during interrogation, police said.

The charges imposed on him were unclear at this time. This is an ongoing investigation and no further details were available at the time of this writing.

In a similar incident, a Florida father shot his 4-year-old son to death before killing himself just hours after the boy’s mother filed a domestic violence injunction for a restraining order against him.

The father, John Stacey shot and killed his son, Greyson Martin Kessler, on May 20 night, inside his apartment unit at the Las Olas by the River condos in Florida.

The boy’s mother, Ali Kessler, had filed an emergency order asking the authorities to remove the child from his father’s care because she believed that his life was in immediate danger.

She submitted a 234 page PDF file including the threatening messages that Stacey had sent her.

"You deserve to have your head separated from body, and deserve to die. But I am not the violent type. God will deal with you," one of the messages read.

The apparent murder-suicide took place just hours before a judge denied the protection order.

If the injunction had been granted, the boy would have remained in his mother’s care and the restraining order would have been in place for both Kessler and Greyson.
