PRAYAGRAJ, Sept. 9 -- A man, reportedly in an inebriated state, killed his son by slitting his throat with an axe while the boy was sleeping in Ahibipur village of Soraon area located in trans-Ganga region of Prayagraj district, late on Sunday night. The accused locked his wife and daughter inside a room throughout the night while roaming outside the house with a blood-stained axe, said police. On Monday morning, nearby villagers noticed him and came to know about the incident. Upon receiving information from the village head, police reached the scene and arrested the man along with the axe. The motive behind the brutal killing is believed to be a dispute between father and son over the sale of land, they added.

According to the police, a heated dispute over the sale of land broke out between Lalji Yadav and his son on Sunday night. Enraged and intoxicated, Lalji locked his wife, Phoola Devi, and daughter, Anchan, in a room and killed his son Vinod, who was sleeping on a cot. He then roamed outside the house, threatening his wife and daughter with dire consequences if they spoke out.
