Police say a man is suspected of killing his wife and three daughters by poisoning them and crushing their heads before escaping after cutting off his phone, allegedly driven by debt pressure.
Police investigators have opened a homicide case after a man allegedly poisoned his wife and three daughters and then crushed their heads. The victims were found dead at their residence, and forensic teams confirmed signs of both poisoning and blunt‑force trauma.
According to the preliminary report, the suspect turned off his mobile phone and fled the house shortly after the murders, making it difficult for authorities to locate him in the immediate aftermath.
Investigators are probing a possible financial motive, noting that the family was reportedly under significant debt pressure. The police have launched a manhunt and are appealing to the public for any information that could lead to the accused's arrest.
The case underscores growing concerns about domestic violence linked to economic stress, and officials have warned that similar incidents could arise if underlying financial disputes are not addressed.
