The shocking triple murder, involving a lady constable at Golmuri Police Line on Thursday night, is a result of triangular love affair.
Police have solved the mystery behind murders of the lady constable Sabita Hembrom and her daughter and mother by arresting a police driver today.
The police driver, Ramchandra Singh Jamuda was arrested from his house at Sonari.
Police have seized the gear-lever used in committing the murders and also two cellphones before sending the arrested police driver to Ghaghidih Central Jail this evening.
Revealing the breakthrough, senior SP Prabhat Kumar said that Jamuda (43) entered into a relationship with Sabita Hembrom after she had joined the police department in the year 2016 on the compensatory ground following the death of her husband Kailash Hembrom.
“The murder is result of Jamuda who is already married used to visit Sabita’s residence at the Golmuri Police Line regularly. As they moved ahead , he could know that the lady constable had fallen for someone else also. As he came to know about the affair of her lover, he decided to eliminate Sabita ” said Kumar while addressing a press conference today.
The senior SP said having resolved to kill his rival, Jamuda had gone to Sabita’s residence on July 19 night and stayed there.
“During the stay, Jamuda had a fight with Sabita over the love triangle issue. As the argument heated up, Jamuda got intense and started hitting Sabita with a gear-lever made of iron. On seeing her mother being assaulted, the lady cop’s 13-year-old daughter tried to save her. Sabita’s elderly mother also came to save her, but the agitated Jamuda killed all the three one after another and fled the scene after locking the door of the residence,” narrated the senior SP.
The senior police officer said that after killing the three Jamuda had returned to his Sonari house and even attended his driving duty on Friday.
Kumar said a team of efficient police officials detected the killer by taking the statement of the neighbours and also taking technical support from the SSP office.
