Mother kills son with rod and hangs him
India By: Naveeta Singh, September 2, 2004
This story will shake your faith in the belief that a mother can never harm her own child.
On April 14, 30-year-old Dilip Bhosale was killed by his mother Kamlabai alias Kevlabai Bhosale (59) with an iron rod at Morarjinagar in Powai. She then hung his body from a fan. Dilip was staying with her for the past one year and was frequently unemployed.
All it took her to hit him on the head with an iron rod was his demand for money. One day, when he asked her for Rs 2,000, she got enraged and hit him with the rod, which killed him.
Then along with her daughter Asha Ravi Patil (30), tenant Suresh Shirsekar (30), second husband Firoz Khan (35) and his sons Shaikh Babu Khan (20) and Shaikh Qasim Kader Badshah (35), she took the body to Wagholi in Latur and disposed it.
To ensure that the blame for the murder did not fall on them, Kamlabai and two others went to her son-in-law Ravi Patil' s home with Dilip' s dead body and told him that they wanted to take him to the hospital, as he was not well.
“I refused because I am not on talking terms with them and my wife Asha (Kamlabai' s daughter) has also left me,” says Patil.
A week after the incident, Kamlabai' s neighbour who had witnessed the hanging told Ravi about it, who filed a complaint with inspector Pathan of Powai police station.
“I tried to file a police complaint but it was not registered,” says Patil. “As a result, I wrote applications to various ministers and government officials requesting them to conduct an inquiry into this matter,” he adds.
Finally, an investigation was started with inspector E R Shiralkar, Powai police station, in charge. All six accused have been arrested.
However Asha Patil, the victim' s sister said, “How can I kill my own brother? My husband has deliberately hatched this plot, as I don't stay with him.”

DNA: Why the truth can hurt

IT sounded too good to be true and it was.
The fairytale that saw Federal Health Minister Tony Abbott reunited with the son he thought he had given up for adoption 27 years ago, ABC sound-recordist Daniel O'Connor, ended this week when DNA tests confirmed another man had fathered Mr O'Connor.
The revelations were devastating for all involved, not least Mr O'Connor.
Still reeling from the emotional reunion with his mother, Kathy Donnelly, and Mr Abbott a few months ago, a simple test of truth has thrown the trio into disarray a situation familiar to thousands of other Australians.
Paternity testing in Australia is a burgeoning industry.
The simplicity of the test cells are collected from a mouth swab grossly underestimates the seriousness of the situation.

The husband also had sought damages from his wife's lover, the court said.

An adulterous Spanish woman who conceived three children with her lover has been ordered to pay £177,000 in 'moral damages' to her husband.
The cuckolded man had believed that the three children were his until a DNA test eventually proved they were fathered by another man.
The husband, who along with the other man cannot be named for legal reasons to protect the children's identities, suspected his second wife may have been unfaithful in 2001.
