Tragic killing of 4-year-old in Palakkad, relative hospitalized with injuries

In a tragic incident, a 4-year-old boy named Ritwik was strangled to death at his uncle’s residence in Vannamada, Kozhinjampara on Monday night. The young boy, the son of Madhusudan and Athira from Tulsi Garden Kallazhi house in Vannamada, met his untimely demise. Simultaneously, Deepthi Das, the wife of Madhusudan’s elder brother, sustained serious injuries in the same incident and was subsequently transferred to Thrissur Medical College Hospital. The police reported that Deepthi Das had inflicted wounds on herself using a sharp weapon on her neck and hand. Relatives informed law enforcement that the woman was undergoing treatment for mental illness. The tragic event unfolded around 10 pm on Monday.

The circumstances leading to the incident were exacerbated by Madhusudhan’s mother, Padmavati, being hospitalized in Kozhinjampara due to fever. In light of this, Athira entrusted Ritwik to the care of the woman, and she went to the hospital. At the time of the incident, only the relative and her 5-year-old daughter were present at their residence. Upon Athira’s return to collect Ritwik, she found the door locked. After the 5-year-old girl opened the back door, Athira discovered Ritwik lifeless and the woman bleeding and unconscious. Ritwik’s body was later moved to the district hospital mortuary. T
