Hanwada (Telangana): A woman with the help of her paramour and her son-in-law killed her son during the intervening night of October 1 and 2 for questioning her alleged extra-marital relationship at Tankara village of Hanwada Mandal of Telangana's Mahabubnagar district.
According to the police, on October 1 night when 30-year-old Venkatesh came home in an inebriated condition, his mother Dayamma hit him on the head with a stick. The blow killed him on the spot. Dayamma, with the help of her paramour Srinivas and her son-in-law Narsimulu, then dumped the body in Motukula Kunta lake near the house.
The incident came to the fore when on Wednesday morning Dayamma broke down in front of the locals saying that her son had gone missing. Police said that when the locals were busy searching for Venkatesh, Dayamma quietly slipped out of the village.

Later the locals found the victim's body in the lake and informed the police. During the probe, police found out that apart from Dayamma, Srinivas and Narsimulu too were missing since the incident came to light.
Further investigation into the case revealed that Dayamma was in a relationship with Srinivas since her husband Papayya died of illness ten years ago. The two had married 30 years ago. The villagers informed the police the mother and the son occasionally fought with each other over this extra-marital relationship. Apart from Venkatesh, Dayamma has two daughters who are already married.
"Apparently it seems that the mother with the help of her paramour and her son-in-law killed the person. We are looking for the accused. Once we nab them, we will know the exact reason behind the murder. The body has been sent for autopsy,” an investigating officer said.
