Man smothers two children to death
In a gruesome act, a man smothered his two children to death and surrendered to the police at Payakraopeta in Visakhapatnam district late on Tuesday night.
The accused, P. Sattibabu (28), an agricultural labourer, was married to one Nirmala about four years ago and the couple was blessed with two children. It was a love marriage and later Sattibabu started to suspect the fidelity of his wife and used to quarrel frequently.
According to the Payakraopeta police, on Tuesday night he had a heated argument with his wife and doubted the paternity of the children. In a fit of rage, he smothered the three-and-half-year-old Honey and one-and-half-year-old Karthik to death with a pillow.
He later walked into the police station and surrendered. The police arrested Sattibabu and booked a case.
