A mother threw her disabled six-year-old son into a crocodile-infested river in India, where he was reportedly mauled to death by the reptiles.
Savitri Kumar, 26, had a heated argument with the boy’s father, Ravi Kumar, 27, who repeatedly ordered her to “throw the child away,” reports the Times of India.
According to the police, her husband allegedly questioned her decision to give birth to a disabled child.
When the parents fought again over their deaf son on Saturday night, Savitri became “upset” and allegedly threw her son into a waste canal that flows into the crocodile-infested Kali river.
Neighbors who saw this called the police, who sent divers to look for the boy in the water, but to no avail, as darkness hindered their operations.
They returned on Sunday morning and found the child’s body, which had bite marks all over it.
The boy was seriously injured and missing an arm, which a police officer said suggested the boy had been mauled to death by one or more crocodiles.
A police officer told local media that it was a brutal murder and that both the husband and wife have been arrested.
