A 52-year-old man, living in Mumbai’s Dahisar West area, murdered his 80-year-old mother in the wee hours of Friday, November 30, as he was unable to manage the medical expenses of his mother’s medical treatment.
The man, Yogesh Shenoy, first smothered his mother Lalita Shenoy with a pillow and then slit her throat with a kitchen knife.
Yogesh could not afford his mother’s daily medical treatment. He was also frustrated and depressed after his wife left him a few years back.
According to police officers, Yogesh works with private company and has a low salary. He got separated from his wife a few years back.
