Hyderabad: Enraged by his mother refusing to give him Rs 300 for alcohol, a 28-year- old man brutally killed her, and after she collapsed he dragged the body into the house to hide the matter. Pirrala Mahesh had earlier killed his father after a fight over a petty issue.
Police said P. Mahesh, 28, hailing from Dudyala village in Bomraspet mandal was working as a cook in a college in Hyderabad. As it was harvest time in his village he came home three days ago. On Saturday his mother P. Mogulamma, 50, sold her crop and got Rs 1,500 for it. Knowing that, Mahesh came home heavily drunk at night and asked her for money.
“When she refused to give money for alcohol he hit her on the head with a stone. She collapsed and died on the spot. He then dragged her body into the house,” Kodangal inspector N. Srinivas Reddy said.
Neighbours who saw blood stains checked inside and found Mogulamma dead and Mahesh sitting beside her body. They informed her relatives. Police registered a case of murder and of destroying evidence willfully.
Police found that Mahesh had killed his father Chandraiah six years ago during a fight over a petty issue. He was arrested and remanded and is out on bail now. Mahesh has been detained for questioning.
