The deceased is Abdul Hameed, while the two fatally attacked by him are his mother Mariamma (55) and his wife Asma (28).
Hameed was working in a super market in Mangalore. He was also working in a mosque in the past. He quit job in the mosque while joining a new job.
Just a week after this, on Thursday, on returning home from work he picked a fight with Asma over trivial matter. His two older brothers Abdul Khader and Abdul Razak had been to a nearby mosque to offer special Ramzan prayers.
Raged over the same fight, he slit his wife using a sickle. When his mother rushed to rescue the daughter-in-law, even she ended receiving the sling from the same sickle. When both the women fell on ground in unconscious state, Hameed resorted to suicide by hanging himself in a room in the house.
A neighbor rushed to the Masjid and informed about the same to the two brother, who rushed back home only to see the brother dead and mother and sister-in-law lay in pool of blood.
Troubled mind
Hameed married a lady from Mallur and has two children-Saleem (1) and Ashika (5). While Hameed worked as a 'Moilar' in mosque, it is said that he had been good to his family. But, within no time, he developed psychiatric problem, following which he started behaving indifferently. With this his wife had abandoned him and started living with her parents. After community leaders intervened and sorted the matter, Asma came back to live with Hameed. However, within no time Hameed started fighting with her again and on Thursday it crossed all limits with Hameed wanting to make her to death.
Vittal police visited the spot and seized the sickle from the house.
The police suspects that Hameed had planned to kill his wife but everything went awry. However, the family and acquaintances believe that Hammed was upset and after having assaulted wife and mother he must have repented and ended his life.
