A 38-year-old woman and her teenage son were stabbed to death inside their house in southeast Delhi’s Govindpuri area in the early hours of Thursday, with robbery likely the motive, police said.
The victims were identified as Sharda Sahu, a homemaker, and her son, a 13-year-old class 7 student.
According to the police, a call about the killings was received at 1.11 am.
The police learnt that complainant Vishnu Sahu, a fruit and vegetable vendor in weekly markets, had returned home around 12.30 am and found the front door latched from outside, Deputy Commissioner of Police (Southeast) Hemant Tiwari said.
