Bengaluru woman allegedly kills son, 4, after he witnessed father’s murder
A woman in Bengaluru has been accused of killing her son, a four-year-old boy, after he witnessed her husband's murder, according to police reports. The incident allegedly took place on Monday morning, though the woman initially claimed she knew nothing about the events. Two days later, police stated that both the woman, Harini, and her boyfriend, Vinay Kumar, had planned the murder.
Harini and Vinay, who had been dating for over two years, reportedly approached the attack through a social media platform. The couple's motive seems to be rooted in domestic discord, with Harini reportedly seeking refuge at her mother's house due to conflicts with her husband. Investigators also suspect that properties, including agricultural land and gold ornaments, could have played a role in the motive.
Abhinandan, the victim, was a 38-year-old employee at a private firm. Police suspect the son was killed after he awoke and witnessed the attack on his father. Harini and Vinay are currently in police custody for further investigation.
