Mother-Daughter Duo Among Four Arrested in Shocking Assam Contract Killing—Police Unravel Chilling Plot

Assam Murder News | Assam Man Found Dead, Wife And Daughter Plotted Murder, Faked It As Robbery

An extremely sensational and disturbing case has emerged from the Borwa area of Dugat (Debugget) district in Assam, where police have arrested a mother, her 16-year-old daughter, as well as a 21-year-old man and a 17-year-old boy in connection with a cold-blooded murder. The victim, Utam [surname withheld], was killed on July 25th in what initially appeared to be a robbery-turned-tragic medical emergency.

Murder Disguised as Robbery

At first, the family tried to claim that Utam had been killed during a robbery and had suffered a fatal stroke due to the shock. However, suspicions grew among relatives and local residents, prompting them to alert the police. The authorities launched a deeper investigation, unwilling to take the family’s version at face value.

A Carefully Orchestrated Plot

Police soon uncovered evidence that the incident was far more sinister. Relying on digital footprints, forensic clues, and suspect interrogation, investigators pieced together that the murder was meticulously plotted at least a month in advance. Astonishingly, the victim’s own wife and daughter allegedly masterminded the plan.

Key to the plot was the daughter’s friendship with the 21-year-old accused, who, along with a 17-year-old accomplice, was allegedly paid money and jewelry by the mother-daughter duo to carry out the murder. The plan was engineered to look like a random, violent robbery, but technical and physical evidence soon unraveled the truth.

Still Unclear Motive

While police are confident of who orchestrated and executed the crime, the motive remains unclear. Investigators suspect a mix of strained family relations, possible financial disputes, and perhaps issues of personal or societal tensions may have played a part. For now, they are pressing for police remand of all accused to allow further custodial interrogation and a complete psychological assessment.

Key Evidence and Ongoing Investigation

The investigation has already led to the seizure of the vehicle used—a Hyundai—and all phones belonging to the accused have been confiscated and are under forensic analysis. Police are also searching for the murder weapon, gloves, and clothing reportedly disposed of after the crime, as well as any other evidence that could provide further clarity on the circumstances and motive.

Two of the four suspects are minors. The authorities are emphasizing that their investigation will not be hindered by legal complexities and that every angle—including financial and personal motives—will be thoroughly examined.

Next Steps

With the accused now remanded to police custody, further developments are expected as investigators interrogate them and analyze digital and physical evidence. The case has shaken the local community and exposed chilling fault lines of trust and violence within families.

Assam police remain committed to finding out the whole truth behind this brutal, premeditated murder. The story serves as a tragic and cautionary tale about the extreme lengths those closest to us might go—leaving an entire region reeling in shock.
