(AFP) The 43-year-old man who allegedly stabbed nine people to death between Saturday night and Sunday morning, including four of his own children and his neighbours, killed himself in jail, police said on Monday.
The man, identified only by initials D.A., hanged himself in a police station cell, news agency AFP reported, citing local police. He was reportedly found dead on Monday morning.
The attacker killed nine people during the night from Saturday, December 27, to Sunday, December 28, around his home which included four adults and five children with a sharp object, police stated. A sixth child and an adult were seriously injured and were transported to the hospital, it added.
Among the victims were four of the accused’s own children aged five to 15, their grandparents and another child. Police chief Melvin Pinas said the man appeared to be suffering from mental health issues.
The local media reported that the man stabbed his 11-year-old daughter some 44 times in the kitchen of their home following an argument with his wife over a phone call. During the rampage, the man was shot in the legs while authorities tried to arrest him, after which he was hospitalised before being taken to a police cell on Sunday evening, said police.
According to the country’s Justice and Police Minister Harish Monorath, the man killed himself in the moment when no one was present around him before which, he was being monitored closely.
Providing more details on how the attack unfolded, the minister said, “As far as we know it began at the home. Two children managed to get out,” and called their grandmother across the street, according to the AFP report.
