Severely injured kids watched mom die
CHENNAI: Danish, 5, is battling for life in Institute of Child Health and Hospital for Children, Egmore, after his father’s employee killed his mother and stabbed him and his sister on Monday night. Doctors are unsure if the boy will survive grievous injuries to the abdomen and chest.
A few kilometers away, in Kanchi Kamakoti Child Trust Hospital, Nungambakkam, doctors are treating his sister, Princika, 2, for injuries to the neck.
She woke up screaming in panic every few hours on Tuesday, but doctors said her condition was stable.
Both children watched their mother die after Vicky, an employee at their father’s eatery in Ambattur, stabbed her repeatedly.
Vicky attacked the children when they returned after playing at former neighbour Inbarajan’s house just after 8.30pm. “They usually play in my house. It was cold on Monday night so I took them home early. If I followed the usual routine, they would have escaped the attack,” said Inbarajan.
“The children lay bleeding in the house and watched their mother die,” their aunt Nirmala said. “They lost consciousness and their father found them only at 11.30 pm, when he returned home.”
Doctors treating Princika said her vitals were stable but she was in shock. “She suffered multiple stab injuries to both sides of the neck. There was fluid collection around her face but she is better,” a doctor said.
Danish’s condition is critical. “His injuries to the chest are deep and his intestines are badly damaged,” a doctor said.
