Woman Throws Son, 6, Into Crocodile-Infested River, Body Found Day Later

A woman threw her six-year-old special needs son into a canal infested with crocodiles in Karnataka after a fight with her husband. The child's half-eaten body was found a day later, the police said on Monday.

32-year-old Savitri, who works as a house help, often fought with her husband Ravi Kumar, 36, over their son Vinod, who was born deaf and mute. They also have another two-year-old son.

Savitri told the police that Ravi, who works as a mason, used to repeatedly taunt her and tell her to kill their son by throwing him into the canal.
