Can't understand human behaviour!

Near Manjeri, in north Kerala, a gruesome accident was perpetuated by a guy in which his wife, Sabira(21 yrs) and two young daughters - Fatima Fida(41/2 yrs) and Fatima Nida(21/2 yrs) - were drowned to death. The incident becomes all the more painful when it's told that the youngest one was fast asleep in her mom's arms - death had enveloped her thanks to the machinations of her dad!

Mohammed Shareef(33 yrs) wanted to obliterate his family for two reasons:-

           (a) He was in love with another girl and was preparing to get married to her.
           (b) Sabira, his wife, had demanded that her gold ornaments be returned which he'd sold away
                without her knowledge.

He was scheming, all the while, to "dispose off" his family through a foolproof method! And yes, the catalyst for the sequence of the murder were the scenes from an old Hollywood movie that he happened to see, sometime back.

On the ill fated day, he'd avoided taking his car and took his two wheeler instead. He'd bought a saree for his unsuspecting wife, did some sundry shopping and then drove through a route - which did not head towards his house and his wife'd innocently asked him as to why he was taking it - which had a sizeable water point, about midway, into which he drove his vehicle. Quickly swimming ashore, he stood as a spectator to take in the manner in which the three hapless lives met their watery graves! And then, taking the lifeless body of the younger child along with him, he knocked at a nearby house for help.

Of course his game was found out, the police had punched holes in his story and he was forced to spill the beans.

Interestingly, Shareef, a local contractor, is an active member of 'Tablighi Jamaat' that offers moral guidance to Muslims!

My take.

How did the guy manage to do such a heinous crime? Is he devoid of finer feelings? I mean, how could he see lives being smothered before him? Could he have ever lived peacefully thereafter?

Just can't understand human behaviour!


Tailpiece.

My uncle - the eldest son of my 93 year old grand aunt - had undergone an open heart bypass surgery this afternoon. I'd planned to go to Guruvayur to monitor the progress of work on my home. But since I'd volunteered to donate blood(My blood group being O+, I'm a universal donor, you see!) in case of an emergency, the earlier programme was cancelled. The surgery has gone off well and he's plugged on to a mandatory 4 hour ventilator regime.
