Santa Ana Police Department announced the identity of a woman arrested for fatally stabbing her 11-year-old son in a hotel room Thursday.
Authorities are indicting her for murder, child danger, torture and aggravated mayhem.
Salisa Ramaraju, 48, was taken into custody Wednesday morning after police found the body of their child at La Quinta Inn.
Officials answered a 9:25am call from a woman who reported killing her son, authorities said.
When the police arrived they found Ramaraju in their room. There she was quickly taken into custody safely. She was then taken to a local hospital after stating that she had taken an unknown substance.
“Our officers arrived shortly after 9:30. They quickly and safely took their mother into custody,” said Natalie Garcia, spokesman for the Santa Ana Police Department. “She said she had taken some substance. She was taken to a local hospital. She is in custody in a stable condition.”
Police described Ramaraju as a calm and cooperative at the time of his arrest.
Inside the hotel room, officers spotted the bodies of a child with multiple stab wounds, along with a knife believed to be used in the attack.
Hotel guests recall hearing the disturbing sounds coming from the room before police arrived.
“We heard a short scream, but that was it,” said Alyssa Wiserel, who was staying at the hotel.
The investigation is still ongoing, and the murder detective is looking for additional witnesses who may have information about the case.
Anyone with information is advised to contact SAPD Murder Section Detectives at Orange County Crime Stoppers at (714) 245-8390 or 1-855-TIP-OCCS.
