In Morrisville, North Carolina, the disturbing case unfolds as Priyanka Tiwari faces charges of murder and negligent child abuse, accused of allegedly starving her 10-year-old son.
When Morrisville Police arrived at Tiwari’s residence, they discovered the child with visible bruises, suggesting he had been deceased for several hours.
Prior to this tragic incident, officers responded to Tiwari’s home eight times this year, primarily for welfare checks. Police Chief Pete Acosta disclosed previous encounters involving Tiwari’s mental health crisis and a domestic violence protective order against her, highlighting a history of concerning incidents.
The most recent welfare check on October 2 was prompted by a neighbor’s apprehension. Acosta noted challenges in determining whether officers saw the child during these visits since March, raising disturbing questions about potential neglect over an extended period.
Neighbors, however, report limited interactions with the family, adding a layer of mystery to this distressing situation.
