Sixty-five-year-old woman may get some reprieve for allegedly killing her son for attempting to rape his daughter as the police have decided to offer legal help to the old woman.

Last week at Sakkavayal village of Sivaganga district in Tamil Nadu, Lakshmi (name changed) had thrown her 47-year-old son away when he tried to rape his daughter. But the alcoholic man flung his mother and started sexually assaulting his 19-year-old daughter.

The old woman allegedly hacked her son to death with a sickle.

As he lay in a pool of blood, Lakshmi was sobbing, holding on to Kavitha (name changed). “What else could she have done? She was protecting me,” said the grand-daughter, Kavitha.

After some time, the police arrested Lakshmi and put her in custody, leaving the teenager wondering as to who would look after her now that her grandmother was gone. Lakshmi was charged with culpable homicide not amounting to murder (Sector 304 of the IPC).

Local police officers say they are sympathetic to the old woman but their hands are tied because of law. “If she applies for bail, the police will not oppose it,” Sivaganga superintendent of police T Jayachandran told Hindustan Times.
“We have instructed the investigating officers to discuss with the legal officers as to how best she can be helped, given the nature of the crime and the circumstances in which it was committed,” he added.

Lawyers like Sudha Ramalingam say there are provisions in the law that are applicable in such cases and Section 100 (when the right of private defence of the body extends to causing death) can be invoked.

She not only should be exonerated, she should be given a medal.

Manslaughter charges.
Can understand she was defending her granddaughter and making such a drastic decision that too killing her own son shows this lady didnt let emotions get into the way..she just saw the act as a crime.

She shouldnt be given a heavy sentence..surely she will get a few years in jail no doubt.
 
IMHO, this should be treated as a special case, in which a mother took the extreme step of killing her own son,

to save the honor of a teenager and should be pardoned, just with a fine amount to be paid.

Dear RRji,

But pardoning will set a trend of being able to get away with murder so a stint in prison at least for a few months would be sufficient.


The risk of a full pardon would make copy cat killing...where each and every case would ask for a pardon.

I know her step was very drastic cos she was preventing rape but it still has to be looked from all angles.

Surely alcohol is one major problem and the girls mother had left the family a long time agao according to some reports.

Why?
She could not stand her husband or she found someone else?

2 weeks back in Msia a man got 48 years jail sentence cos he raped and sodomized his 15 year old daughter 3x a day for the past few years and the 1st time he raped her was in a hotel room in Mecca when he went for Umrah( mini Haj).


He is a divorcee and has 3 daughters.
2 younger girls stay with their mum and this eldest girl stays with him.

The girl only told the police after the father wanted custody of the other 2 daughters.

So the eldest daughter broke down and told the police cos she knew her father was planning to rape other 2 sisters too and wanted to save her sisters from the same plight.
 
Dear Renu,

Surely, animals are better than that man!

He is NOT worth to be a father at all!! :nono:
 
I am sure in USA, she will not have been charged. Even if charged, the case would have been dropped.
Protecting life, and property is a recognized right. It is called self-defense.
