Disturbing details have emerged in the tragic murder case involving Suchana Seth, the CEO of the Bengaluru-based artificial intelligence start-up Mindful AI Lab, accused of killing her four-year-old son, in Candolim, North Goa.

Several media reports have revealed chilling details, stating that Seth, accompanied by her child, had visited Goa just a week before the alleged murder. According to reports, Suchana Seth stayed in South Goa for five days, from December 31 to January 4, at a service apartment.

After departing for Bengaluru on January 4, she returned to Goa on January 6 in the evening. On the same day, at around 11:30 pm, she checked into the Sol Banyan Grande service apartment.

Meanwhile, a postmortem report of the boy was conducted, revealing that he had passed away approximately 36 hours earlier. This information suggests that the accused, Suchana Seth, may have committed the crime within two hours of checking into the service apartment.

On Tuesday, Karnataka Police arrested Suchana Seth in Chitradurga district while she was attempting to escape in a cab, concealing her son's lifeless body in a bag. During checkout, she had requested a hotel staff member for a taxi to Bengaluru. However, upon cleaning the room, the staff discovered red stains, presumed to be blood, prompting an immediate report to the police, as revealed by Nidhin Valsan, Superintendent of Police, North Goa.
