Bhubaneswar: A man allegedly killed his wife and mother-in-law after having failed to bear the torture meted out by the duo. This shocking incident took place at Podabolanda village under Rairakhol police limits in Sambalpur district.
The accused has been identified as Mithun Swain who surrendered before police along with his one and half year old son. Mithun reportedly killed his wife Gayatri and his mother-in-law with the help of a crowbar.
As per reports, Mithun, a resident of Athamallik Jamuduli in Angul district was married to Gayatri Sahu, a resident of Podabolanda village in Sambalpur district. Gayatri never wanted to reside with her in-laws. This led to frequent arguments between the two. The matter aggravated to such an extent that they lived separately last year and again got reunited thanks to the intervention of some senior citizens. On July 2, Mithun came to his in-laws’ house with his wife and son. Mithun reported to have started constructing a house near his in-laws’ house for the sake of Gayatri.
Mithun alleged that Gayatri came to Podabolanda village and started staying with her mother although I was not happy with her decision. Many people tried to change her mindset but in vain. Finding no other go, I came to her place and started living at my in-laws’ house. However, both Gayatri and his mother-in-law never missed any chance to torture me and humiliate me.“
Mithun’s relative said, “There was some misunderstanding between the husband and wife. Mithun started staying at his in-laws’ house for the last ten months.”
