In a shocking incident, 3 people from a family were killed when a pick-up truck mysteriously caught fire in Malappuram on Thursday. Muhammed, his wife Jasmin and their daughter Fathimath Safa died on the spot, while Shifana, their five-year-old daughter, was shifted to the hospital with serious burns, said reports.
According to police, Muhammed set the vehicle on fire after locking his family inside. The body of Mohammed was found in a nearby well which points to the possibility that he might have jumped into the well after suffering burns. It took almost 40 minutes to douse the fire.
Meanwhile, a Police investigation into the death of three at Perinthalmanna after a goods vehicle exploded points finger at a planned murder by the husband. It is suspected that the vehicle also had explosives in it, which resulted in the explosion. In such cases, the police may have to investigate the source of the explosives too.
