four-year-old son of Suchana Seth, the chief executive officer (CEO) of an artificial intelligence start-up company in Bengaluru, was smothered to death, said Dr Kumar Naik, who conducted the post-mortem. Suchana Seth, the CEO of The Mindful AI Lab, was arrested from Chitradurga in Karnataka on Monday night for allegedly killing her son at a service apartment in Goa during a vacation last week.
Suchana Seth, 39, was on her way from Goa to Bengaluru carrying the boy's body which was recovered in a suitcase. She was arrested on the directions of the Goa Police.
"He (the child) was strangled to death or what we call smothering. Either a cloth or a pillow was used. The child died due to strangulation. It doesn't look like the child was strangulated using hands. It looks like a pillow or some other material was used. The Rigor mortis had resolved in the child," Hiriyur Taluk Hospital's administrative officer in Chitradurga Dr Kumar Naik told reporters.
"Usually in India, rigor mortis resolves after 36 hours but in this child's case, there was no rigor mortis (stiffening of the body muscles due to chemical changes in their myofibrils). So, it has been more than 36 hours since his death," news agency PTI quoted Naik as saying. Naik added that there was no blood loss or struggle marks on the child's body
