A 21-year-old man, depressed over a property issue, allegedly killed his 46-year-old mother by slitting her throat with a sharp weapon at their apartment in suburban Mulund on Saturday, police said.
The accused Jayesh Panchal later tried to kill himself by jumping in front of a local train at Mulund railway station but was saved by an alert official of the Government Railway Police (GRP).
The incident came to light when neighbors of the Panchals in a housing society in Vardhaman Nagar saw blood stains outside their flat and alerted the police.
When officers entered the apartment, they found the woman, later identified as Chhaya Panchal, lying in a pool of blood, a police official said.
Police also found a note written in Gujarati and a knife.
"The police then called the deceased woman's husband. He translated the message and said that his son had committed the crime as he was depressed over some property issue," the official said.
The accused was admitted to the hospital and booked under Section 302 (Punishment for murder) of the Indian Penal Code (IPC), he added.
