A 20-year-old married woman and a 14-year-old boy allegedly killed a 15-year-old boy by poisoning him in Kallur mandal of Khammam district. The victim, who studied in Class X, died on Sunday, November 8, 2026, while getting treatment at a hospital in Warangal. He passed away roughly two weeks after he was allegedly given a soft drink mixed with weedicide.

Investigation

Police stated that the woman lived in Bonakal mandal and stayed apart from her husband due to bad marital relations. She was reportedly in a relationship with the minor boy, and both lived in the same village as the victim. The 15-year-old victim recently saw the two together. Investigators found that the suspects feared the victim would tell people about their relationship, which led them to poison him. Kallur police arrested the woman and presented her before a court, which sent her to judicial custody. Authorities placed the minor boy in a juvenile home while further investigation continues.
