A 34-year-old Barrackpore mother of four and her 1-year-old baby girl were killed by a close male relative on Tuesday morning.

Investigators say it appeared that both victims’ throats were slit.

They were found dead on a mattress at the suspect’s Location road, Barrackpore home.

When our reporter Cindy Raghubar-Teekersingh went to the scene of the brutal double murder on Tuesday, relatives told her that the woman suffered years of abuse and ended a relationship with the suspect months ago.
