Cuttack: In a shocking incident, a mother was murdered by her two sons at Mahanadi Vihar in Cuttack, on Saturday.
The accused, Anurag Mohanty and Anshuman Mohanty are suspected to be mentally unstable.
According to sources, the sons attacked their mother, Anima Mohanty, with a sharp weapon, killing her on the spot. The incident occurred in the wee hours of Saturday. Neighbours heard Anima’s screams and informed the police.
The police arrested one of the brothers, while the other is on the run. The motive behind the murder is not yet clear, but it is suspected that the brothers’ mental health issues led to the crime, sources said.
The family had been living at plot no 714 in the area for a long time, and Anima had been taking care of her sons due to their mental condition. However, the sibling brothers’ behaviour had become increasingly erratic in recent days, leading to the tragic incident.
The police are investigating the matter from all angles and are trying to determine the exact circumstances leading to the murder.
