Siddipet: A 45-year-old woman, Miryala Venkatamma, was murdered, allegedly by her son, Eshwar, who then chopped off her legs and stole her jewellery to make it look like a murder for gain by robbers.
According to the police, the incident happened around midnight on Wednesday when Venkatamma was sleeping in her home at Banda Mailaram village of Mulugu mandal. To make it look like a murder for gain, Eshwar chopped off her legs and took away her silver anklets and other ornaments she was wearing.

Venkatamma, whose husband died a few years ago, was earning a livelihood by selling plastic kitchenware in the surrounding villages. After marrying off her daughter, Venkatamma was staying with Eshwar, her only son, who was physically challenged. Accusing his mother of delaying his marriage, Eshwar used to have frequent quarrels with Venkatamma.
Police said he sought the help of his relative Parvatham Ramu to eliminate his mother. After the murder, Eshwar called his paternal aunt at 1.42 am on Thursday and informed her that some thieves had killed Venkatamma.
The police who pressed the dog squad into action zeroed in on Eshwar as the prime suspect within hours. Ramu was also nabbed soon by a team led by Gajwel Rural Inspector Janakiram Reddy and Mulugu SI Vijaya Kumar.
