New Delhi, Jul 3: In a chilling double murder, a woman and her teenage son were found dead in their home in Delhi's Lajpat Nagar on Wednesday night, allegedly killed by their domestic help following a scolding.

The victims, Ruchika Sewani (42) and her 14-year-old son Krish, were discovered in a pool of blood after police broke open the door of their residence. The shocking crime came to light around 9:30 pm when Kuldeep Sewani, Ruchika’s husband, returned home and found the door locked. Spotting blood stains on the staircase, he alerted the police.

Upon forced entry, police found Ruchika lying on the floor beside her bed, and Krish’s body in the bathroom, both covered in blood.

Ruchika ran a garment shop in the local market with her husband, while Krish was a Class 10 student.

Police have arrested Mukesh (24), a driver and shop helper, for the murders. A native of Bihar, Mukesh reportedly committed the crime after being scolded by Ruchika. He was caught while attempting to flee.

Further investigation is ongoing.
