Incident at Pudupalli Theruvu in Palakkad
A woman slaughtered her six-year-old son at Pudupalli Theruvu here in the early hours of Sunday. Shaheeda, 32, wife of Sulaiman, reportedly told the police that she ‘sacrificed her son to propitiate God.’
The police arrested Shaheeda and an investigation was on. The police said the reason for the murder could be found out after questioning her.
Shaheeda slit the throat of her youngest son Ameel Ihsan with a kitchen knife around 3.30 a.m. She had slept with Ihsan in a room while her husband had slept with their other sons Adul Atheef, 11, and Ameel Aideed, 8, in another room.
