Suchana Seth, a start-up CEO from Bengaluru, is being questioned by the police regarding the death of her four-year-old son at a Goa hotel. The boy was "smothered," and the crime occurred at least 36 hours prior, according to the boy's post-mortem examination.

The government physician who performed the post-mortem in Karnataka, Dr. Kumar Naik, stated, "The child was killed more than 36 hours earlier." He's been strangled or smothered. No scars or indications of struggle are present. A wire or a pillow could be used.

According to him, the absence of rigor mortis, which is the hardening of the limbs due to chemical changes in the muscles, suggests that the claimed murder occurred at least 36 hours prior.

Seth was apprehended in the Chitradurga region of Karnataka while purportedly attempting to escape in a taxi, concealing her son's body under a bag.

The youngster was smothered in Goa, "possibly using a pillow from the service apartment," according to a senior police officer who was interviewing her. "A murder weapon was not present. She apparently attempted suicide by cutting her wrists with scissors.

A DNA test will be conducted to confirm the collection of blood samples, the officer stated.

When the police called her on her way to Karnataka and inquired about the blood found in her hotel room, which was discovered by the housekeeping staff, she initially explained it was because she was menstruating. "She promised to cover the cost of the cleaning.

But our initial investigation revealed that the bloodstains on the floor and towels came from the wounds she received," the officer stated.

According to the police, Seth wed Venkat Raman in 2010; the pair had a son in 2019, and then their marriage developed problems.

Her husband claims that shortly after their son was born, she developed a possessive attitude toward him and their arguments increased.

The couple split up shortly after, and they haven't communicated for the previous two years, according to an officer.

"They were in the process of divorcing. A family court in Bengaluru recently made an order directing the father to have custody of the child every Sunday. She refused to let her son see his father for the previous five weeks.

The officer stated, "We think she came to Goa over the weekend to make sure another week goes by."

The woman insisted throughout interrogation that she did not murder her son. The officer stated, "She claimed her son was asleep and she did not know how he died."

She was quiet the entire way from Goa to Bengaluru, the taxi driver reported to the police. The officer stated, "When he pointed out that her suitcase was unusually heavy, she said it's because of clothes and extra luggage," adding that she had previously traveled to Goa with her son.
