Tirupati: A woman, who allegedly killed her two minor sons last week in order to elope, and her paramour surrendered before the village revenue officer on Thursday. They were subsequently handed over to the police. The murder of the two children Dinesh, 6, and Rithvik, 4, in Ramakuppam mandal in Chittoor district last Friday had shocked the district.
The mother, Pavithra, told the police that her children were an obstacle for her relationship with the neighbour Vemanna. On learning of her affair, her family had told her to think of the children. Vemanna also saw the children as hurdles and encouraged her to kill them, she alleged. Speaking to mediapersons, Ramaku-ppam circle inspector Rajasekhar said, “Both of them surrendered at the VRO in Ramakuppam. She confessed that she had hanged her children to death.”
