Homi­cide de­tec­tives are in­ves­ti­gat­ing four mur­ders in Pe­nal which oc­curred over the past 12 hours, in­clud­ing a triple mur­der.

Guardian Me­dia un­der­stands hours ago Anand Ku­mar, 42, his son Kishore Ku­mar, 18, a labour­er, and their rel­a­tive Rol­ley Ho­sein, 26, were ex­e­cut­ed at their Mathu­ra Street, Char­lo Vil­lage home.

The men were asleep around 4 am when there was a knock­ing on the front door and a male voice re­port­ed­ly shout­ed, “Po­lice open the door!”

Two as­sailants wear­ing masks and a tac­ti­cal uni­form in­clud­ing a bul­let proof vest with the mark­ings “Po­lice" are said to have bro­ken down the door. They then or­dered the male oc­cu­pants out of the house and made them lie face down on the ground.

Short­ly af­ter­wards, sev­er­al loud ex­plo­sions were heard.

The two sus­pects were seen run­ning from the scene. 

About a month ago, an­oth­er man—Nar­ine Singh, who lived at the same ad­dress—was fa­tal­ly shot through a win­dow while he was on his bed with his wife.

Mean­while, 28-year-old lines­man Adesh Heer­alal, of Wil­son Road, Clarke Road was gunned down near his home last night.

Ini­tial in­for­ma­tion is that around 7:45 pm some­one Heer­alal knew called out to him and he went to the front of his home.

His wife re­ports that some five min­utes lat­er she heard loud ex­plo­sions. She said she saw her hus­band run a short dis­tance and then col­lapse.

To­geth­er with her fa­ther-in-law, she took him to the Siparia Health Fa­cil­i­ty. Heer­alal had been shot mul­ti­ple times. He was pro­nounced dead at 9:01 pm.

Two spent 9 mm cas­ings and a pro­jec­tile were found at the scene of the shoot­ing.

In­ves­ti­ga­tions are on­go­ing.
