AN Indian villager has axed to death four women and five young girls while apparently mentally disturbed after his wife left him, police say.
Pandu Nagesia, 35, killed nine of his neighbours during his rampage through Behratoli village in the central state of Chhattisgarh on Thursday, district police chief Govardhan Singh Darroh said by telephone.
The victims were five girls aged between two and nine, a 25-year-old and three women over 60, he said.
"A total of nine females were axed to death," Darroh said.
"The accused Nagesia first attacked a 25-year-old woman and her two-year-old child and axed them to death, subsequently killing his neighbours one after another," the police chief said.
"The accused seems to be mentally disturbed after his wife deserted him," he said, after Nagesia was taken into custody and the axe recovered from the village, 625 kilometres north of the state capital, Raipur.
A witness said the incident happened in the early afternoon when some women and children had assembled at a house after their male relatives had gone to work in a nearby mine, the Press Trust of India (PTI) news agency reported.
Attacks on Indian women have been in the global spotlight since December, when a 23-year-old student was brutally attacked and raped by six men on a moving bus in the capital, New Delhi. She died two weeks later of her injuries.
The case prompted outrage at home and abroad, prompting parliament to toughen laws to make the country safer for women.
Since the Delhi case, a string of other attacks have hit the headlines, including the gang-rape of a Swiss cyclist in central Madhya Pradesh state last month.
On Wednesday four sisters walking home in north India suffered severe burns after being attacked with acid by two men on a motorbike - a brutal example of another growing problem in South Asia.
