In an incident that has shocked Surat, a man fatally stabbed his wife and son before attempting to take his life on Friday morning. Smit Goyani, an online businessman, carried out the heinous act at his residence in Sarthana.

According to police sources, Goyani allegedly said, “I am alone now, nobody is left,” before attacking his wife Hiral and their 4-year-old son Chahit with a knife. Subsequently, he attacked his parents, Labhu and Vilas, with the same weapon. After the attacks, Goyani inflicted multiple stab wounds on himself, targeting his neck, chest, and wrist.

Neighbours discovered the horrific scene when the injured parents came out seeking help and alerted the police and emergency services. Upon arrival, police found Hiral and Chahit dead, while Smit and his parents were rushed to the hospital in critical condition.

Investigations have revealed that Goyani’s paternal uncle had passed away a month ago. Despite having a distant relationship with his uncle’s family, Goyani and his parents had visited them to pay their respects. However, they were asked to leave and not to maintain any further contact. This rejection is believed to have triggered Goyani’s violent outburst.

The Surat Sarthana police have registered a case against Smit Goyani for murder and attempted murder. Further investigations are underway to ascertain the exact motive behind this gruesome crime.
