The two children who were found dead in a room at a five-star hotel in Bengaluru were allegedly strangled by their father, police said on Tuesday, attributing the crime to a marital dispute and custody battle.
What Happened
Imran and his two children had checked into their room on Sunday. They were supposed to check out on Monday. He slashed his own neck in a suicide attempt, he added. We have also recovered a note from the murderer; he claims he wrote that letter. He also talks about the marital dispute between him and his wife. There was a dispute about the children’s custody.
Because he didn’t get their custody, the officer said the man told the police that he had killed the children. SG Imran, 45, was found lying in a pool of blood in the hotel room’s toilet with his neck slit. His daughters, aged 8 and 10, were found on the bed just metres from the accused, police said. “At Airport police station, one of the accused named Imran, aged around 45 years, confessed to having killed two of his daughters. One aged 10 years and the other aged around 8 years.
Deputy Commissioner of Police GK Mithun said the man has confessed to killing his daughters. The officer said the man had been involved in a domestic dispute with his wife. He wanted children’s custody, but the family members did not agree, and that is the reason he says he has committed this offence,” Mithun said.
