A man reportedly beat his young son to death in Kurnool early Tuesday and attempted to strangle his wife, suspecting her of infidelity.
Jarapati Ranga Murali killed his son by hitting him on the head with a heavy lock and tried to strangle his wife Buggula Deena, 20, said M. Sreenath Reddy, Kurnool Rural Inspector of Police.
“MS. Deena told us that Murali used to molest her physically and emotionally. He had also tortured her several times in the past. Late Monday night he tried to snatch her son from her while they were in the middle of an argument,” she said Mr Sreenath Reddy.
“When she resisted, Murali hit his young son Jarapati Muni Harsha on the head with a padlock and then locked her in the house. At 3:30 a.m., Deena fled the house with her baby. The baby had died by then,” the inspector said, adding that an FIR was registered against Murali and a hunt for him was underway.
