Man attacks wife, mother-in-law, kills self

Lucknow: An air force personnel jumped to his death on a train track in Uttar Pradesh after brutally assaulting his wife and mother-in-law, police said Wednesday.

Pawan Pandey, 32, of Hamirpur district, fatally hurled himself before a train Tuesday after attacking his wife and mother-in-law with the butt of a rifle in Ekdil town. The two women are battling for life in a hospital.

“We are yet to ascertain what prompted Pawan to take the extreme step. It appears Pawan committed suicide as he thought the women had died,” Deputy Superintendent of Police M.P. Salonia said Wednesday in Etawah, some 200 km from Lucknow.

Pawan’s wife and mother-in-law were both teachers in a government school.
