Motihari, Mar 30: Mohammad Idu Miyan, who had been on the run after killing his wife and three minor daughters by slitting their throats, allegedly died by suicide in Bihar’s East Champaran district on Friday late night. Reports suggest that he and his wife got into an argument over her "failure to give him a male child". Notably, he was released on bail from a prison in Uttar Pradesh on charges of killing his another daughter.
Slit throats of wife & 3 minor daughters with knife
Idu Miyan was on the run after killing his wife Afreen Khatoon, 40, and his three minor daughters at his Bawariya village house under the Paharpur police station area of East Champaran around Thursday midnight. This happened after he was released on bail from a prison in Uttar Pradesh on charges of killing his another daughter, police said. The incident reportedly came to light when their neighbours spotted blood on the floor outside their house, police officials said.
In a fit of rage, Idu attacked Afreen with a sharp-edged weapon and then slit her throat with a knife. The deceased, Afreen, and her daughters Arbun Khatun (15), Shabrun Khatun (12) and Shahzadi Khatun (9), were found on Friday at their house in a pool of blood, with deep cuts on their throats, police said.

Had thrown his daughter from a moving train

Idu was booked for murder and served a prison sentence of five years in that case. He was released on bail in 2022, officials said.
