Man arrested for killing son in Kerala
A man named Shijil in Kerala was arrested for hurting his one-year-old son, Ihan, so badly that the baby died.
The family first said the baby got sick after eating biscuits, but doctors found out the baby had bad injuries inside his body.
The police found out that Shijil was mad because he thought the baby was not his and hurt the baby when he was crying.
Shijil was caught and will go to court.
The police said Shijil hurt the baby because he was angry that the baby woke him up.
Shijil, a resident of Kanjiramkulam in Neyyattinkara, Kerala, was arrested for assaulting his one-year-old son, Ihan, leading to the child's death.
The incident occurred on January 16, and Shijil was taken into custody on January 23.
The family initially claimed the child collapsed after eating biscuits, but a postmortem examination revealed internal injuries to the abdominal region.
Shijil confessed to assaulting the child after being agitated due to marital discord and suspicions about the child's paternity.
Shijil was charged with culpable homicide and will be produced before the court for remand proceedings.
