Mother Charged with Murder and Negligent Child Abuse in Death of 10-Year-Old Son

MORRISVILLE, N.C. (AP) – A tragic incident has unfolded in Morrisville, North Carolina as a mother stands accused of murdering her own 10-year-old son. The accused, 33-year-old Priyanka Tiwari, was taken into custody by the Morrisville police on Thursday, following an investigation into the child’s death.

The authorities were alerted on Wednesday after receiving a report of an unresponsive child at the residence. Unfortunately, despite their efforts, the boy could not be revived. The town of Morrisville released a statement, revealing the shocking extent of the situation. “It was determined that significant time had passed since the child’s demise due to the state of the body,” the statement read. The police further disclosed that the boy’s body was found in a state of decomposition, indicating a considerable delay in discovering the tragic incident.

The warrants against Priyanka Tiwari allege that she subjected her son to a prolonged period of starvation. However, the exact duration of this cruel treatment has not been specified. Authorities suspect that both abuse and neglect played significant roles in the child’s untimely demise.

During a brief court hearing held on Thursday, the presiding judge ordered that Priyanka Tiwari be detained without bail. The capital defender’s office was assigned as her legal representation, although they have not yet assigned an attorney to the case. The seriousness of the charges against Tiwari underscores the gravity of the situation.
