The Chief Judicial Magistrate, Imphal West, on Friday remanded a man who killed his own mother to 15 days judicial custody till May 31.
The accused, Sanjit Das, 26, son (L) Ganesh Das, a resident of Sangaiprou Kabui village, stabbed his mother to death on Tuesday (May 14) allegedly under the influence of drugs. He was arrested on the day and was remanded into three days police custody on May 15.
His mother, the deceased, is identified as Kamei Madhu (65), wife of the late Ganesh Das, a resident of Sangaiprou Kabui village.
According to police reports, Sanjit, a substance abuser, had previously undergone treatment at a de-addiction centre.
During police preliminary interrogation, the accused disclosed that on May 14 at around 6:00 PM he had consumed heroin No. 4 and had an illusion of having sex with his mother. So, he waited for his mother to return home and when she did, he locked the main door and insisted on having sex with his mother. Refusing the approach, the mother tried to run, threatening to expose his son.
The son, with no option left, took a cleaver knife from the kitchen rack and started attacking his mother. When the mother tried to run, he caught her and stabbed her multiple times on the back of the head, thus killing her.
The police prayed for judicial custody for further investigation and collection of evidence so as to prevent from committing any further offence.
After hearing the submission, the court remanded the accused into judicial custody for 15 days for further investigation.
