Sachin Kapoor, a tutor, was arrested last week for killing his 74-year-old mother with a baseball bat. He told the police that he had always felt like a stepchild and had been angry about it ever since.

On December 6, Sachin, 40, a resident of Juhu, was accused of killing his mother, Beena, by repeatedly bashing her on the head with a baseball bat in their home.?

After that, he asked his domestic helper, Chhotu Mandal, for assistance disposing of the body in Raigad.

The two suspects were taken into custody on December 7, and the body was discovered the next day, on December 8.

During the investigation into the murder, Sachin told the Juhu police that his mother had treated him like a stepchild for many years.

"According to Kapoor, his father had suffered heavy business losses on the day of his birth, due to which his mother always called him an ill omen. He added that since he was a child, his mother favored his elder brother over him, and the resentment had been building up ever since," said a police officer, as per a report in Hindustan Times.?

The officer continued by saying that had not yet been determined the specific issue that led to the altercation on the day of the homicide. According to the police, he told them during his interrogation that, even though he felt guilt for murdering her, he had foreseen that something similar would occur sooner or later.

The body was found when Sachin's older brother, Nevin, who lives in a foreign country, attempted to call his mother on the phone.?

The two of them had a regular habit of talking on the phone. When Nevin's repeated phone calls went unanswered, he initially tried to contact Sachin, but he did not answer. Next, Nevin contacted the Juhu police.?

When the police went to the Kapoor home, the security guard informed them that he had seen Sachin and Mandal bring something covered in a plastic sheet to Sachin's car.

The accused were arrested, and the body was found a day later in a 40-foot-deep gorge near Matheran. The murder bat was found too.
