A guest murdered his sexagenarian host in Gaur, Rautahat district headquarters, on Sunday night. Jahir Ansari (65) in Pokhariyatol of Gaur was found dead with his throat slit at his home this morning, DSP Sudhir Raj Shahi said. Pervez Ansari from Gaur Municipality-10, an acquaintance of Jahir, had come to the victim’s house last night to ask for shelter for the night. As the house had only one bedroom, the victim’s wife had left for her son’s house nearby leaving her husband with the guest, police said. But when the wife returned her home this morning, she found that her husband was already killed by the guest with a sharp weapon. Meanwhile, the suspect also stole Rs 500,000 cash from the victim, police said. Jahir had received the money from his son, who is currently abroad for employment, for house construction, just last week, police said. While looking for the suspect, police are investigating the case.
