Kasargod, Sep 19: In a shocking incident, an elderly woman was allegedly murdered by her son, daughter-in-law and grandson at Bedadka here.

The deceased has been identified as Ammalu Amma (65). Police team led by Kasargod DSP Ranjith have arrested the three accused.

The arrested are identified as Perladka Jeppinadka residents Kamalaksha (47), his wife Ambika (40) and their son Sharath (20).

Ammalu Amma was a quarry worker. Her body was found hanging in her house on Wednesday September 17 and it was initially believed to be a case of suicide. However, her relatives and locals expressed suspicious about the cause of death, and after post-mortem at Periyaram Medical College Hospital, it was established that Ammalu was murdered.

The post-mortem report stated that she was strangled to death. When her son, daughter-in-law and grandson were questioned by the police, the truth came to light.

Police said that property dispute led to the murder of the elderly woman.

It is learnt that Ammalu Amma was strangled to death by Ambika on Tuesday September 16 night when she was sleeping. Kamalaksha and Sharath allegedly hung the body to make it look like a suicide. The accused confessed to their crime during interrogation, police sources said.

Kamalaksha, the only son of Ammalu Amma, had reportedly sold his mother's property bought another property. The house was bought in the name of daughter-in-law and the land was registered in the name of the son.

It is said that there were frequent quarrels in the house as Ammalu Amma was urging them to transfer the ownership of the house in her name, and for this reason her son and wife allegedly decided to eliminate her. Ammalu's grandson Sharath is a student of BSc (computer science).

    When a family elder holds a piece of land & wealth then automatically smile, respect & so called love comes hoping some day it will get transferred to us. But once the property gets transferred then the same person looks like a burden & we treat him/her as our charity.

    What greed for accumulating wealth and property can blind one's senses!! They did it in a well planned manner not understanding the consequences of murdering a person!!

    In the melee, they have lost their mother, land, house, money, as they will spend most of their young life time in jail including the young boy who had a bright future!!

    Now a third party may come into the picture and enjoy the benefits of the property!!

    May her soul rest in peace.
    Ammalu Amma a quarry worker, a very hard work she worked to take care of her family. She fed her son with that hard earned money. O God what a tragic end you gave her from her daughter-in-law, Son and Grandson?

    Ambika, name signifies Goddess of the Moon, but, her conduct proves, she is none other than devil incarnate. Angelic is the face and satanic is the work.

    It is all because of a Piece of land.No one thought of what wiil come later.How did the son sold mothers land without her consent?and made it in the Name of wife and registered in sonsname?All complicated.Son and wife should have thought that same Problem may come to them when they are elder .But to murder your own mother and whole Team had planned,is very terrible to hear and sad at the same time.Now they can enjoy their land with other jailmates.
