Palakkad (Ker) (PTI): A four-year-old boy met a tragic end after he was strangled to death allegedly by a paternal relative in this district, police said on Tuesday.
The gruesome murder was allegedly committed by the victim's aunt who was reportedly mentally unsound.

Ritwik, a kindergarten student, was found unconscious at his home in Kozhinjambara here late on Monday night and was declared brought dead at the hospital by doctors.

Though he was rushed to a nearby hospital, his life couldn't be saved.

The woman's statement would be recorded soon and further details could be divulged only after that, he added.
She was the wife of the victim's uncle.
