The police arrested a woman in connection with the death of her three-year-old son at Elappully, near here, on Wednesday. After questioning the woman, the police said she admitted to killing her child in order to live with her lover.
Three-year-old Mohammed Shan was found unconscious under mysterious circumstances at the house of his mother Asya at Choottippara on Tuesday morning. Though he was rushed to the District Hospital here, the child’s life could not be saved.
It was found in the post-mortem examination that the child had died of asphyxiation. When questioned, Asya reportedly admitted that she strangulated Shan and pretended as though she knew nothing.
