Goa murder case: Suchana Seth accused of murdering her four-year-old son.
Bengaluru:
A handwritten note has been recovered from the possessions of the Bengaluru CEO who allegedly murdered her four-year-old son, police sources said. While police did not reveal the exact contents of the note, sources say the accused, Suchana Seth, had written about her bitter relationship with her estranged husband.
The 39-year-old is accused of murdering her son in a hotel room in Goa, reportedly over a bitter custody dispute with her husband. She will undergo a medical examination and a psychological evaluation. According to police sources, she has not cooperated with the investigation and has shown “no remorse.”
The note found was written on tissue paper with eyeliner, police said. It was sent to the Forensic Science Laboratory (FSL) for examination by a handwriting expert.
The note hinted at her strained relationship with her husband Venkat Raman and how unhappy she was with the court order allowing Raman to meet the child. Police sources said the note was indicative of Ms Seth's mental state.
Suchana Seth is the CEO of The Mindful AI Lab and, according to her LinkedIn profile, is an AI ethics expert and data scientist with over 12 years of experience supporting data science teams and scaling machine learning solutions at startups and industrial research laboratories.
She checked into the apartment in Candolim on January 6 and stayed there until January 8. She allegedly killed her son in the apartment and stuffed the body in a bag before taking it to neighboring Karnataka in a taxi on Monday, police said.
When apartment staff cleaned the room, they found blood stains on a towel. Staff immediately informed police that she was carrying an unusually heavy bag and that her son was not seen with her.
The autopsy revealed that the four-year-old child was suffocated with either a piece of cloth or a pillow.
