The decomposed bodies of a 30-year-old woman and her son were today found from a house in south east Delhi's Okhla area, police said.
They said that the husband of the woman was not found, indicating that he might be behind the killings.
The police were informed about a foul smell emanating from the house. After the door was broken down, they found the decaying bodies of the woman and her son.
The neighbours told the police that the woman's husband, an autorickshaw driver, had left two days ago after locking the house. They thought that the entire family had gone out somewhere, police said.
