The deceased was identified as Jomon, a resident of Chettukulam colony near here. The incident occurred around 12.30 a.m. on Monday when Jomon, in an inebriated condition, attacked his three daughters, aged 13, 10, and 7 years, with a knife. The children fled to a relative’s house nearby even as Jomon escaped. Preliminary investigation suggested that the accused had parted ways with his wife a year and a half ago and had since been living with his daughters.
