Man Stabs 4 Neighbours To Death In Mumbai, Arrested: Cops

Mumbai: A 54-year-old man
allegedly stabbed four neighbours to death and injured another at a residential building
in south Mumbai today, police
said.
The grisly incident took place
around 3.30 pm at Parvati
Mansion on Grant Road, an official said, adding that the accused was soon arrested.
The man's wife and children
had left him two months ago,
and he suspected that his neighbours had instigated them, the
official said.
He had been mentally disturbed
ever since, and on Friday, upon
spotting his neighbours, he
went to his house, picked up
a knife and allegedly attacked
five persons from neighbouring families.
The injured were rushed to a
private hospital in Girgaum
and civic-run Nair hospital
where a couple, Jayendra and
Neela Mistry, and two more
women died during treatment,
the official said.
Another man was undergoing
treatment.
After the incident, the accused
locked himself inside a room
in the building.
He refused to come out when
the police reached the spot, but
relented when they threatened
to "break the door and hit"
him, said the official.
Police took him into custody
and also recovered the knife
used in the attack.
He allegedly admitted to the
crime while telling the officials
that he was disturbed after his
family members abandoned
him.
Though visibly mentally disturbed, he was not undergoing
any medical treatment, the official said.
A First Information Report
(FIR) under sections 302 (murder) and 307 (attempt to murder) of the Indian Penal Code
was registered at D B Marg
police station and probe is underway, the official added.
