Words are inadequate to describe Thursday night’s horror in Karbi Anglong’s Bor Lengri, on the other side of the border and close to Dimapur’s Lengrijan colony when unidentified killers hacked to death three members of a Naga family with the savagery and cold bloodedness that left many numbed with shock. The sight of the hacked bodies of the husband, his wife and a sister were enough to confirm that the butchery was cold blooded and a calculated act. Besides the gory sight, reports from the Police further added to the gruesomeness when it was disclosed that the two women victims were pregnant and were brutally raped then butchered. The crime scene also sprang up some questions on the probable sequences of events. First, it was believed that the killers were not unknown to the victims as they probably sat around together in the kitchen-cum sitting room of the house. The other questions that remain unanswered are - who could have been the killers and what was the reason for the meeting and whether there was any altercation in the course of their conversations? The next question is - whether the discovery of the body of the male, at around one kilometer away, indicated that it was a pre-planned execution to get rid of him?. If the killers were known to the victim and his family, then surely it would not be very difficult to speculate on the nature of their relationship or acquaintanceship. Next, the discovery of the male member, some distance from the house would indicate that the killers had either accosted him on the way then hacked him to death or had probably taken him either under some pretext or abducted the victim before murdering him. If this was so, then it could be to get him out of the way so that they could easily gang rape then butcher the two women in a horrific manner inside the house. Whatever be the sequence of the chilling events; there is no denying the fact that the killers committed the evil deed and had no fear of neighbours getting wind of their acts. The next focus is on the Khatkhati Police, who are responsible for policing and currently investigating the triple murder case. Probably, the Khatkhati Police would also be having their own theories on what kind of person(s) is/are capable of committing such a horrific crime and where to look for further leads. Perhaps they have also done a proper crime scene data collection of fingerprints, footprints and DNA test on the bodies of the women victims etc. The police had also retrieved the CCTV from the house and would probably be studying the footages. Bor Lengri colony has a mixed composition of communities such as various Naga tribes, Nepalis, Adivasis and migrant Bangladeshis. It is also a fairly large colony and could probably someone, have at least noticed some persons moving around in a suspicious manner during the late night hours of Thursday? These are questions which only the investigators would help find the answers. During such incidents, there is no denying the fact, that active cooperation from the public would greatly complement the efforts of the investigation. Such crimes have been committed in varying degrees in the border areas and these also indicate that cold blooded murderers are able to exploit the environment. The Dimapur Police could play a part in following the progress of the investigations and if required, coordinate exercises that would help trace the killers.
