Uthra "The Kerala Snakebite Murder" Ep 049

Homicide Worldwide Podcast

Uthra was a twenty-five-year-old woman, who was killed by a Cobra bite that was manually inflicted while she slept. She had been recovering in her parents’ home, in Anchal, from another snakebite, which occurred in March 2020, from a Russells Viper, in the home she shared with her husband and young son.

Snakebites are unfortunately, common in India. But that two different species of snake, bit Uthra in a span of 52 days, both in extremely unlikely and separate conditions prompted Uthras family to have her husband, Sooraj S. Kumar, a twenty-seven-year-old bank employee, investigated.

Thanks to her parent’s suspicions, evidence that could not be ignored and a rigorous forensic investigation, the truth was uncovered, and this unprecedented case has led to the creation of a whole new category of police training in India. This case is now used as a teaching module for snake bite investigations. It makes you stop and consider; this could not have been the first time a snake had been used to commit murder and of all the 58,000 snakebites that occur each year in India, how many of them were murder…..
