Mother kills daughters by feeding them rusted nails .
Ratna alias Sunita was arrested on Monday and sent to judicial custody after she confessed that she had killed her daughters.In
an incident that could send shivers down one's spine, a 35-year-old
woman in Ajmer killed her two daughters - three-year-old Sonia and
seven-month-old Samridhi - by feeding them rusted nails and nut bolts in
milk.
Ratna alias Sunita, the mother, was arrested on Monday and
sent to judicial custody after she confessed to the crime. Post-mortem
established that the girls had died four days ago and rusted nails were
found in their viscera. Dr R.K. Mathur of the Jawahar Lal Nehru Hospital
said, the nails had choked the girls' windpipes and shredded the
intestines resulting in their death.
Sonia, one of her daughters. The
incident happened on February 26 when her husband, Arun, a salesman,
was out of town. Sunita had kept the bodies wrapped in plastic bags in
the house for three days - during which she slept with them. Later, she
threw the bodies in a nearby dry well. The bodies were recovered from
the well on Sunday.
Ratna's husband, Arun, who married Ratna, a
divorcee in 2009, after legally separating from his first wife, told the
police that earlier also she tried to kill their daughters after which
she underwent psychiatric treatment.
Station
House Officer of Alwargate police station Vikram Bhati said that on the
basis of the post-mortem report and her neighbours' statements Ratna
was interrogated after which she admitted to her crime. She told the
police that frequent fights in the family over the birth of her
daughters had exhausted her.
"In view of the nature of her crime,
the police would seek permission from the court to get her mental state
medically examined," Bhati said.
