Sedative shadow on Saha killings
Sleuths probing the Saha family killings said on Thursday
that Nabendu’s eldest son, Shibendu, had used strong doses of a sedative
to drug his parents, brother, wife and elder son. Police had earlier thought that
Shibendu had used mercury chloride to kill his family. The chemical test of the
stomach contents of the victims revealed that the drink served to them after dinner
was spiked with powdered sedative. After the drink was consumed, Shibendu had
strangled his mother, elder son and wife. He smashed the heads of his father and
brother because the sedative was not working on them. Shibendu hanged himself
only after he was sure that his entire family was dead.
