Ludhiana: Dead body of Pyara Singh of Sherpur village, who had become traceless after killing his wife and daughter five days ago, was recovered from Doraha Canal on Wednesday morning.
According to the police, Pyara Singh had killed his wife and daughter using a hammer and later jumped into the canal to end his life. However, with the recovery of his body, the possibility of the exact cause of the double murder being unravelled is almost over.
On February 12, Pyara Singh, 60, a labourer, had killed his wife Swaranjit Kaur, 53, and daughter Rajwant Kaur, 28, with a hammer, the police said. Thereafter, he reached Doraha canal and called up his nephew to inform him about his crime and said he was also going to commit suicide. Then he switched off his mobile phone.
