Raipur: In a ghastly incident, a man in a Chhattisgarh village brutally killed his 9-year-old son by beating his head on the floor repeatedly suspecting him to be “jinxed”, police said.
According to the police, Sravan Satnami (38), resident of Tilda nearly 45 km from here, woke up his son, Kuleswar, from sleep and then hit his head on the floor repeatedly.
He later strangulated the kid who was in semi-conscious state then, to death.
He chose to kill his son, who, he believed, brought bad luck for him, when his wife was not present at home.
His wife raised an alarm when she found her son bleeding profusely in his head and motionless.
Neighbours rushed to their house after hearing her shrieks.
“The accused surrendered before us and confessed to the murder. He has been arrested on charges of murder”, the investigating officer in Simga police station said.
