Husband ‘uses a venomous COBRA to kill his wife and two-year-old daughter by releasing it into their bedroom as they slept’ | Daily Mail Online
On October 6, Ganesh allegedly released the snake from a plastic jar in the room where his wife and daughter slept.
They were both found dead with snake bites the next morning, while the father claimed to have slept in another room.
Ganesh told his neighbours that a snake entered his house and bit his wife and child.
The villagers killed the snake and rushed the mother and daughter to a nearby hospital where they were declared dead.
Ganesh lodged a complaint with police and a case of unnatural death was registered.
Superintendent of Police Jagmohan Meena said Ganesh’s father-in-law accused him of murder. Ganesh was arrested a month after the incident.
Suspicion began to grow about the circumstances of the death and police questioned snake charmers in the local area.
I feel like Kipling must have written a story about this.
