Soon after the gruesome crime that took place between January 6 and 8, the accused woman, Suchana Seth, also tried to end her life by cutting her wrist with a sharp object, police said, adding that the motive behind the murder is not immediately known.
The chief executive officer of an artificial intelligence start-up allegedly killed her four-year-old son at a service apartment in Goa. Suchana Seth, identified as the alleged killer, stuffed his body in a bag before taking it to neighbouring Karnataka in a taxi, police said on Tuesday.
As per the post-mortem report, Suchana Seth seemingly used a towel or a pillow to strangulate the boy, said Dr Kumar Naik, who conducted the post-mortem. Seth was arrested from Chitradurga in Karnataka on Monday night and brought to Goa on Tuesday. The incident took place between January 6 and 8.
"He (the child) was strangled to death or what we call smothering. Either a cloth or a pillow was used. The child died due to strangulation. It doesn't look like the child was strangulated using hands. It looks like a pillow or some other material was used. The Rigor mortis had resolved in the child," Hiriyur Taluk Hospital's administrative officer in Chitradurga Dr Kumar Naik told reporters.
