Goa murder case of a 4-year-old kid:

 Dr Kumar Naik, who conducted the post-mortem, said the child was killed more than 36 hours earlier. Suchana Seth has been arrested.

The four-year-old son of Suchana Seth, the chief executive officer (CEO) of an artificial intelligence start-up company in Bengaluru, was smothered to death, said Dr Kumar Naik, who conducted the post-mortem. Suchana Seth, the CEO of The Mindful AI Lab, was arrested from Chitra Durga in Karnataka on Monday night for allegedly killing her son at a service apartment in Goa during a vacation last week.

 

After death: The woman was arrested for carrying the body of the boy, which was found in a suitcase, as directed by the Goa Police. According to Dr. Kumar Naik, the administrative officer at Hiryur Taluk Hospital in Chitra Durga, the child, who was about four years old, was strangled to death, possibly with a cloth or pillow, as there were no signs of marks from hands. Dr. Naik mentioned that the absence of rigor mortis, the stiffening of muscles after death, indicated that more than 36 hours had passed since the child's demise. He further stated that there were no indications of blood loss or struggle marks on the child's body.

 


    

After investigation: Naik, however, indicated that the precise timing couldn't be determined, yet 36 hours had elapsed since the unfortunate demise.

In the ongoing investigation in Goa, a senior police official asserted that the child had been smothered, potentially with a pillow from the service apartment, as reported by The Indian Express.

The official stated, "No murder weapon was found at the scene. Allegedly, she attempted to end her own life by cutting her wrists with a pair of scissors. Blood samples have been collected, and a DNA test will be conducted for verification,"
