ROURKELA: A 27-year-old tribal youth allegedly hacked four members of his brother's family to death on Saturday night before surrendering to the police.
Among those killed were two minors. Police suspect the murders could be related to financial dispute.
Sources said brothers Kande Munda (34) and Kali Munda (27) used to live in their ancestral home at Deuladihi village, under Bonei police station (PS) limits of Sundargarh district. On Sunday morning, Kali went to Bonei PS and told the police that he had killed his brother, sister-in-law Sumi Munda (30) and their two children - Malani Munda (7) and Mana Munda (5) - the previous night.
Hearing this, police went to the village and recovered the bodies. Kali's wife and two-year-old daughter lives in the same house but had gone to attend a wedding on Saturday.
