She allegedly killed her son…
Suchana Seth, the Bengaluru CEO accused of killing her four-year-old son due to a custody dispute with her husband.
On Thursday, 11 January 2024, she will undergo a routine medical examination, sources said.
Ms. Seth, 39 years old, will also be given a psychological examination, police sources said.
Authorities try to unravel the sequence of events between the time she and her son checked into a north Goa service apartment - on January 6 - and her arrest in Karnataka over 48 hours later, with the child's body in a bag.
Late Wednesday police said Ms. Seth shows "no remorse" over her son's death. Sources said Ms. Seth, in police custody till next week, has been "non-cooperative" so far.
She has failed to explain why she attempted suicide - there were slash marks on her wrist.
The police believe Ms Seth tried to kill herself after the "premeditated" murder - a theory based on the recovery of two empty bottles of cough syrup from the service apartment - of the boy.
During interrogation Ms. Seth said she had no idea how her son died, insisting he was alive when she went for a nap and dead when she woke. However, a senior police officer dismissed the explanation.
Ms. Seth has, though, confessed to an estranged relationship with her husband, PV Venkat Raman, who was in Indonesia during the time of the child's death.
