A 57-year-old woman has been accused of murdering her 35-year-old son on February 13, after he allegedly assaulted multiple women in their family in the Prakasam district of Andhra Pradesh, India.
Prakasam Superintendent of Police, AR Damodar, revealed on Saturday, February 17, that Lakshmi Devi, 57, killed her son, Shyam Prasad, with the help of her relatives and then dismembered his body. The suspects are currently on the run.
“Unable to tolerate her son’s immoral and inappropriate behavior, Devi took the extreme step of killing him,” Damodar explained to PTI.
Police officials further revealed that Prasad, who was unmarried, had also been involved in similar behavior with his aunts and other family members in Bengaluru, Khammam, and Hyderabad.
He had allegedly attempted to assault his maternal aunts in both Hyderabad and Narasaraopeta.
As a result, Devi reportedly murdered her son and dismembered his body, which was disposed of in the Nakalgandi canal in Cumbum village.
The accused have been charged under Sections 103(1) (punishment for murder) and 238 (causing disappearance of evidence) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS).
