In a separate incident a 42-year-old daily wage labourer killed his wife, daughter and sister-in-law before taking his own life in the early hours of Sunday at Kulkacherla in Vikarabad district, reportedly following domestic disputes and suspicions over his wife’s fidelity. The accused, identified as Vepuri Yadaiah, attacked his wife Alivelu, 35, his daughters Aparna, 13, and Shravani, 10, and his sister-in-law Hanumamma, 40, with a knife inside their home around 3 a.m. Police said Yadaiah later hanged himself.
