A man killed his two minor
children allegedly cutting them into parts at Kumullipara under Howly outpost in Assam's Barpeta district today, police sources said.
The man, identified as Mainuddin, killed his seven-year-old son Sahabul Islam and four-year-old daughter Khadija Begum in the absence of their mother, the sources said.
Mainuddin's neighbours claimed he killed his children in protest against his father-in-law not giving him land as demanded by him.
Local residents handed over Mainuddin to the police and investigations were on, the sources added.
