AHMEDABAD: A 26-year-old woman from Naroda, who had killed her three-year-old son with her paramour’s help at a city guesthouse, allegedly had lunch and sex in the room after poisoning the child.
The incident took place on August 6. “Accused Jyoti Parmar and her boyfriend Bhupendra Parmar had booked a room in a guesthouse near Civil Hospital for four hours to execute their murder plan. They gave her son, Yuvi, poisoned milk and waited for him to fall unconscious,” said a Shaherkotda police officer.
“They gave the milk to the boy in the first hour itself, and had three more hours to spend at the guesthouse. So, they ordered lunch. They kept checking if the child was just sleeping or had fallen unconscious. After talking for a while, they had sex. They left the guesthouse once the child had lost consciousness,” he added.
During questioning, they narrated the entire sequence of the crime. Cops said that as Bhupendra worked as a sanitation worker in the postmortem room at Palanpur Civil Hospital, he knew about various poisons. “So, he went to a shop and bought a poison that he mixed in the milk and gave to the kid,” said the cop.
Jyoti had been in a relationship with Bhupendra, a native of Palanpur, for the past 8-9 years. “Her husband Ajay found out about the affair a while ago and the two had a big fight. However, they reconciled later. Meanwhile, Jyoti and Bhupendra decided to get rid of Yuvi as they felt that he was an obstacle to their relationship,” said police.
On August 5, Yuvi had high fever. Jyoti got the idea that if she killed the child while he was unwell, then no one would suspect her or her lover. She spoke to Bhupendra who told her to take Yuvi to the guesthouse where they poisoned him.
