UP teenager kills mother, lives with body for 5 days
Lucknow/IBNS: A woman in Uttar Pradesh's Gorakhpur was killed by her 17-year-old son when she went into his room in the morning to wake him up, media reports said.
The incident took place on December 3 when Aarti Devi, went into her son's room to wake him up and instead got pushed by him to the ground, leading to a fatal head injury.
The case came to light after Aarti's husband Ram Milan, who is a scientist at the Bhabha Atomic Research Centre in Chennai, tried calling her multiple times but found the phone to be switched off.
What's worse is that the teenager did not stop at killing his mom but then cut off the CCTV of the house, locked the house from inside, and lived with the body for four days.
When the body started to rot and smell, he started burning incense sticks to prevent the foul smell.
On the fifth day, the boy stepped out of the house and sat at a nearby temple.
Meanwhile, Ram Milan got worried when Aarti didn't answer his phone calls for two to three days and requested his sister-in-law to check on his family.
The sister-in-law found the house locked from inside. However, she did not miss the strong smell coming from the house.
The husband then flew back and found his wife lying dead in a pool of blood.
The family informed the police, who then sent the body for postmortem. The boy was found sitting near a pond at a nearby temple.
Initially, the boy told the police that his mother died due to a fall and he panicked and fled the house.
However, the investigation raised questions. Police found bloodstains at two different spots, indicating the body was dragged. They also recovered cash from the teenager's room.
According to the neighbours, Aman was an addict and would take up money from his mother in the name of coaching but would spend it on alcohol and drugs. The school too had complaints against Aman, said reports.
