Visakhapatnam: Mother who killed her 18-month-old girl child arrested

The Visakhapatnam Police arrested a mother who, along with her paramour, killed her 18-month-old girl child. While the woman, Sneha, was taken into custody on Saturday, the other accused, Ramana, was arrested on Sunday.

According to the police, the woman, a resident of Gajuwaka, married one Sai of Yellamanchili two years ago. In search of a job, they left Vizag for Vijayawada, where they were blessed with a baby girl, who was named Geeta Sri. However, differences cropped up between the two, and Sneha returned to Vizag, where she developed intimacy with Ramana.

Both were staying in a rented house at Mangalapuram near Duvvada. On 17 July, Sneha allegedly hit hard on the head of her child with a ladle when she was crying, following which the baby fell unconscious. Ramana allegedly hit the child’s head to the wall resulting in her death.

The Visakhapatnam Police, who registered a case at the Duvvada PS against the mother who killed her child, made the arrests and are investigating.
