Mumbai: A quick-tempered man allegedly killed his mother with a grinding stone last Saturday after flying into a rage at being denied food. Cops suspect that the accused had cannibalistic instincts as well.
Malad police arrested 40-year-old Suryakiran Chauhan on Saturday night, after neighbours reported the incident. Investigations have revealed that Chauhan was infuriated when his mother accused him of being an unemployed parasite, living off his father's funds.
Speaking of the accused, Police Inspector Rajaram Prabhu revealed that Chauhan had a quick temper and had been involved in a macabre crime six months ago. Enraged because two dogs in the locality were barking incessantly, Chauhan brutally killed the two canines, and, butchering them into pieces, took them home to roast and eat them. When neighbours alerted the police, Chauhan was arrested.
On Saturday, an inebriated Chauhan entered his Malad (West) home, to find his mother Sailabai (62) preparing dinner for his father. A belligerent Chauhan demanded food from his mother. The irate mother refused, calling him a freeloader instead. Flying into a fit of rage, Chauhan picked up the grinding stone from the kitchen, smashing his mother's head with it. Chauhan then sat stone still by his mother's body for two hours.
Shripath, Chauhan's father, said in his statement, "He killed two dogs because they barked at him and brought them home to eat their meat. After killing my wife, he was watching her intently, and his posture made it clear that he was eager to eat her as well."
"Chauhan was about to chop his mother into pieces when his father Shripath walked in, and stopped him. He raised the alarm and alerted the neighbours. Upon reaching the spot, we found Chauhan with a knife in his hand. The locals then called us and reported the murder. We are investigating if the accused was contemplating eating his mother," said Prabhu.
"We have arrested Chauhan on charges of murder, and will present him in court on Monday. The past incidents indicate that anger was the chief motivation for the crime," added Prabhu.
