A six-line note found inside the suitcase holding the body of a murdered four-year-old child suggests a motive for the killing. The note, written by Suchana Seth, a data scientist and startup founder, reveals that she was under pressure from the court and her estranged husband to give custody of her son. Describing her ex-husband’s violent nature and the harm he inflicted on their child, the note portrays her determination to not let her son be with his father even for a day. Suchana allegedly smothered her son to death and attempted suicide in a hotel room in Goa. She was later arrested while trying to escape with the child’s body stuffed in a suitcase. The article highlights the significance of the note as evidence in the case, indicating the mental condition of the mother and the probable trigger for her drastic actions. Police plan to send the note for forensic verification. They are also examining her call records to identify the people she contacted after the death of her son. The investigation includes verifying the involvement of a doctor and parental therapist in the incident. The note and its contents shed light on the custody battle as a possible motive for the murder.
