GUNTUR: A registered medical practitioner (RMP) stabbed his 80-year old mother at Badepuram village of Tadikonda mandal in Guntur district on Sunday after she refused to cook chicken curry.
According to Mangalagiri rural police, the accused, Bejjam Kishore, 45, an RMP in the village, came to his mother Bejjam Mariyamma with chicken meat and asked her to cook it for him.

Irritated by his behaviour, Mariyamma refused to cook chicken and started scolding him for his attitude. Incensed by her mother’s rebuff, Kishore stabbed her with a kitchen knife. She died on the spot.
Her relatives and neighbours, who rushed to the spot found the old woman in a pool of blood.
They overpowered Kishore and alerted police, who rushed to the spot and took him into custody.
