The post mortem conducted recently revealed that the deceased child was smothered to death with either a cloth or a pillow. “The child died due to strangulation. It looks like a pillow or some other material was used,” Hiriyur Taluk Hospital's administrative officer in Chitradurga, Dr Kumar Naik, said.
The accused woman also allegedly attempted suicide after committing the crime, by cutting her left wrist with a sharp object, police said.
The 39-year-old AI start-up CEO, Suchana Seth, was arrested from Karnataka's Chitradurga district on Monday night as she was fleeing in a taxi with her son's dead body packed in her luggage. She is accused of having killed the boy in a service apartment in Goa last week as she was upset about the custodial battle with her estranged husband.
