During interrogation with our investigating officers, the accused woman seemed to be unhappy with the court order," SP Valsan told ANI. As per media reports, Suchana had also accused her husband of physically abusing both her and their 4-year-old son.

In order to prove her claim, she had also provided copies of her medical documents, WhatsApp chats, Live Hindustan reported. In addition to this, she had also asked for an alimony of ₹2.5 lakh per month as her husband's annual income was of more than ₹1 crore. Coming back to the police investigation, police told news agency PTI that the murder seemed like pre-planned as two empty bottles of a cough syrup were found in the Goa apartment where she allegedly killed her son, indicating she may have given a heavy dose of the medicine to him.

"The post-mortem conducted on the body has indicated the possibility that the child might have been smothered to death and there were no signs of struggle. We are examining the possibility if the woman gave a heavy dose of cough syrup to the child before putting him to death," the official said as quoted by PTI. The police also said that Seth was subjected to psychological tests to assess her mental condition and to help find the motive for the gruesome crime.
