A woman allegedly poisoned and stabbed her stepson and daughter to death on Wednesday in Madhya Pradesh’s Datia district.
According to Madhya Pradesh Police, the murder of brother and sister occurred in the Sapa Pahad area of the district.
According to a senior officer stationed at Datia district police headquarters said, “The bodies of minors were recovered from their house in Sapa Pahad area. We have registered an FIR under various sections of the Indian Penal Code (IPC) against unknown persons.”
The officer further said that they have seized the bodies and have sent them for postmortem. “The postmortem report will confirm the causes of the death, and we have collected forensic and other evidence from the crime scene,” added the officer.
According to the police officer, prima facie it seems the two minors aged seven and 12 years were poisoned and then stabbed to death. The deceased have been identified as Arnab, 7, and Jahnvi.
The officer added, “The bodies were first seen by the father, Arvind Prajapati, of the minors. They were his children from his first wife.”
