Upset over missing mother, Karnataka man ends his life; her body found after his funeral

The man was upset over the disappearance of her mother, who went missing around 11 days ago.

K R Pete (Mandya): A man who was upset over his missing mother ended his life by suicide at Bookahalli Koppal, near Ganjigere in KR Pete taluk of Mandya district on Thursday. Unfortunately, the body of his mother was found in a sugarcane field a day after his last funeral.

The deceased have been identified as Mahadevamma (75) - the mother and wife of Huchegowda - and her son Subhash (50).

Mahadevamma is said to have left her home around 11 days ago. Worried over this, Subhash lodged a missing complaint at KR Pete Rural Police station. As his mother did not return home even after a week, an upset Subhash ended up taking the extreme step by consuming poison on Tuesday.

The dead body of Mahadevamma was found in a decomposed state in a sugarcane field a day after his funeral on Wednesday. Meanwhile, the KR Pete rural police have registered a case and investigation is underway.
