Kerala News | 51 Wounds, Cigarette Burns: Kerala Toddler Abused For A Month
The death of a toddler from Kerala due to 'choking' on food has uncovered horrific details of long-term torture, physical assault and a murder conspiracy hatched three months ago. One-and-a-half-year-old Arshid was beaten to death by his mother's live-in partner, while she remained a mute spectator. The incident took place at Nedumangad's Panavoor area, 20 kilometres away from the capital Thiruvananthapuram. On the evening of May 29, Arshid was rushed to a private hospital in Panavoor before being shifted to Sree Avittom Thirunal (SAT) Hospital, where doctors declared him dead. In his statement, the accused, Ashkar, told the hospital staff that his son had choked on food and fallen unconscious.
