A psychic murdered his 65-year-old mother
and skinned her head at Maitrenagar in L B Nagar on Thursday. According to
police, Premnath, 32, who is in police custody, strangled Ramulamma to death
after a heated argument around 12.10 pm. "I did not kill her, it was
Jesus who skinned her for not accepting Christianity," Premnath is reported
to have said later.
During the argument, Prem is said to have
told his mother to get his sister Nirmala converted to Christianity and when
she refused he murdered her, L. B. Nagar police said. "I heard Ramulamma
scream but ignored it. Five minutes later when I heard a heavy thud, I peeped
through the door that was half open," K. Kishore Reddy, a bachelor who
resides in an adjacent room, said. "I was frightened to see Prem sitting
over his mother's chest and pulling her skin by his hands that were stained
with blood," Kishore, who is the only eyewitness in the case, said. "I
rushed to the police station and informed the inspector on duty," Kishore
added.
