EAST MIDNAPORE: A woman's paramour allegedly killed four of her in-laws in East Midnapore's Kalikakundu village very early on Sunday. Both the woman and her paramour have been arrested and are being questioned at Mahisadal police station. 

According to police, Jharna Kuila (24) and Jagannath Kuila (30) had been in an illicit relationship for about two years. Jagannath is Jharna's brother-in-law and lives next door. 

After the panchayat's intervention, the duo had reportedly been lying low for the past few months.

Jharna's husband works with a security agency and stays at home only three days a week. On Saturday, he was out on work. Around 12.30am on Sunday, Jharna's father-in-law Ram Prasad (72) found out that Jagannath had sneaked into Jharna's room. Infuriated, he knocked on the door repeatedly, shouting at Jagannath to leave the house at once. 

"At this, Jagannath came out and straightaway attacked Ram Prasad. The old man was butchered with a sharp weapon. Hearing his screams, his wife Niharibala (62) rushed out. She, too, was attacked," said a police source. 

Ram Prasad bled to death on the spot. Jagannath's next victim was the couple's younger son Arun (34), who suffered from night blindness, and Kalpana Manna (55), a relative who was a guest in the house. After stabbing them mercilessly, Jagannath fled. 

By then, villagers had been alerted and they called the police. Niharibala was the only victim alive when police came and she reportedly named Jagannath as the culprit. She succumbed to her injuries soon after. 

Jharna was arrested right then. On Sunday afternoon, police tracked down Jagannath near Mecheda railway station, around 40km away, with the help of his mobile tower location.
