A man threw three of his children into a well in an inebriated condition following a squabble with his wife in Odisha’s Sundargarh district on Saturday evening.
The man identified as Pandu Munda, 21, returned to his village Kulla from nearby Koida market in a heavily drunken state on Saturday. He entered into a quarrel with his wife.
According to Koida police, Munda soon picked up an axe and chased his wife to kill her. She ran away from the spot and hid behind a bush. Munda returned home and found daughter Sina Munda, five, son Raju Munda, two, and six-month-old daughter.
