The Goa Police said that the accused woman murdered her 4-year-old son as she did not want her ex-husband to meet the child, according to a news report. The couple, however, got divorced after a dispute in 2020. The court granted the father visitation rights to see his son every Sunday. Since she did not want the meeting to take place, she reached Goa with her son on Saturday and killed him in the apartment in North Goa ahead of the scheduled meet, reports added.
