According to recently revealed bodycam footage, the mother who allegedly informed a 911 caller that she had fatally stabbed her kid walked to responding cops who detained her while seeming expressionless and cooperative.
According to a statement from the Orange County District Attorney’s Office, the 11-year-old child was discovered on March 19 with his throat cut at the La Quinta Inn & Suites in Santa Ana, California.
At the motel, his mother, Saritha Ramaraju, 48, was taken into custody and accused of murder.
Ramaraju can be seen approaching the arresting cops in a bodycam video of her arrest.
As she leaves a room, an officer calls out to her, “Come over here.”
As she carefully makes her way down the motel balcony toward the officers, she seems to be on the phone.

Ramaraju seems to maintain composure and obeys without protesting or arguing. It looks like there are a few blooddrops on her shirt sleeve in the video. She is shown without shoes but with socks on.
According to a statement from the DA’s office, Ramaraju reportedly told police about the murder that morning.
According to the statement, she allegedly informed police that she had killed her son by stabbing him and that she had taken drugs in an effort to end her life.
The two had recently returned from a three-day trip to Disneyland, and her kid was in her custody for a custody visitation at the time of the incident. She was supposed to give the boy back to his father, whom Ramaraju had divorced in 2018, on the day of the murder, according to the authorities.
According to the DA’s office, investigators discovered the young boy’s body encircled by Disneyland mementos. Police claim that the huge kitchen knife they discovered was purchased the day before.
After first being admitted to the hospital for consuming an unidentified chemical, Ramaraju was detained.
According to the DA’s statement, Ramaraju was first charged with one count of murder and one felony enhancement of personal use of a weapon, a knife.
Due to the claim that the knife used in the crime was bought the day before, the DA’s office informs that they have filed for an upgraded charge of special circumstances murder, which includes the special circumstance of lying in wait.
The DA’s office stated that Ramaraju might be executed as a result of the increased charge.
According to the office, she has not entered a plea and has been given a public defender.
