Andhra Woman Kills 'Perverted' Son, Dismembers Body After He Attempts To Rape Aunts

The woman was unable to bear her son's perverted and indecent behaviour and thus decided to kill him. He behaved indecently with his aunts and allegedly attempted to rape them as well.

Frustrated with the misconduct of her son, a 57-year-old woman in Andhra Pradesh's Prakasam district, allegedly killed him and dismembered his body into five pieces with the assistance of relatives, police said on Saturday.  

The woman, K Lakshmi Devi, allegedly murdered her 35-year-old son K Shyam Prasad, a cleaner, on February 13. Devi's relatives allegedly helped her in killing her son, Prakasam Superintendent of Police, A R Damodar told news agency PTI.

Damodar said that the woman was unable to bear her son's perverted and indecent behaviour, and thus decided to kill him. The SP said that Prasad had also behaved indecently with his aunts and other relatives in Bengaluru, Hyderabad, and Khammam.

Prasad was unmarried and is also said to have allegedly attempted to rape his maternal aunts in Hyderabad and Narasaraopeta. He was murdered using an axe or a sharp weapon, PTI reported citing police.

Following the murder, the woman cut her son's body into five pieces and stuffed into three sacks before dumping him in the Nakalagandi canal in Cumbum village.

The accused, however, are now on the run. They have booked under BNS Sections 103(1) and 238. Police teams have been dispatched to search and arrest them.

In another incident, a man and his sister-in-law were sentenced to prison by a local court in UP's Maharganj for the murder of his wife over dowry demands. 

Additional District Government Counsel Serveswer Mani Tripathi said the court found Angad Yadav (32) and his sister-in-law Renu Devi (wife of his elder brother) guilty of killing Tejam Devi in 2018, PTI reported.
