Kerala couple arrested over newborns' deaths
A young live-in couple from Kerala has been arrested for allegedly killing their two newborn babies.
The case surfaced when Bavish, 25, showed up at a Thrissur police station with a bag of skeletal remains, saying the bones were kept for rituals to bring peace to the children's souls.
Police soon learned that both babies had been killed shortly after birth.
Relationship became strained by fights and suspicions of infidelity
Bavish and Aneesha (23), who met online in 2020 and once planned to marry, were questioned by authorities.
Aneesha admitted she suffocated the first baby in 2021 and buried it nearby; forensic tests confirmed both sets of remains were infants.
Their relationship had become strained by fights and suspicions of infidelity before these events.
Police are now investigating whether Aneesha's family knew about her pregnancies or the deaths, while also looking into the couple's claims about rituals.
The investigation is ongoing as authorities work to clarify all details and responsibilities in this disturbing case.
