Man beats mother to death in Madhya Pradesh

A 50-year-old woman was beaten to death by her son in Madhya Pradesh's Khandwa district. The accused, who claimed to have committed the crime after he got irritated by her nagging, was arrested on Saturday, barely 12 hours after the body was found by a passerby.

Khandwa: A 32-year-old man battered his mother to death, stuffed her body in a sack and dumped it in a drain in Madhya Pradesh's Khandwa district, police said on Saturday.

The accused Santosh Patil was arrested after his act was caught on a CCTV in his vicinity.

Superintendent of Police Shivdayal Singh said: "Santosh killed his 50-year-old mother Vimla Bai with a wooden club on Monday and then put the body in a box."

Being irritated by his mother's nagging, Santosh borrowed the idea from a television serial and carried out the plot, police said.

He kept the body at home for four days before stuffing it in a box and disposing of it in a drain, police added.
