Man from Perth faces charges for attempting to murder his father-in-law in India.
A man from Perth, Australia has found himself in hot water after being accused of plotting to murder his father-in-law. The incident reportedly took place in India, where the 65-year-old victim was violently attacked with a machete and then shot in the back of the head on February 2nd of last year. Fortunately, the gun malfunctioned and the victim survived, though he did suffer a fractured occipital bone and a serious brain injury.

Local authorities in India launched an investigation into the attack, which led to the arrest and charging of three individuals. However, they also discovered potential involvement from a fourth person, a 42-year-old man from Maddington. According to police, this man was actively seeking out individuals to carry out the murder of his father-in-law. Despite being notified by Indian authorities, it was determined that extradition would not be sought by WA Police.

After the attack, the victim relocated to Western Australia where he received support from the police and the family violence team. An investigation was launched, which eventually led to the arrest of the 42-year-old man on June 1st for breaching a Family Violence Restraining Order taken out by his ex-wife. It was during this time that the victim began receiving further death threats.

The 42-year-old man was arrested and charged yesterday with one count of 'Attempted Unlawfully to Kill'. He is set to appear in front of the Perth Magistrates Court to face these charges. The victim, meanwhile, continues to receive support and assistance from authorities after the traumatic events he experienced in India. This is just another reminder of the importance of addressing and preventing family violence, as well as the significant impact it can have on individuals and their loved ones.
