An Indian-origin man has been charged with killing and sexually assaulting his 65-year-old mother at their home in New York on the eve of Mother's Day, according to media reports. Pushkar Sharma, 28, allegedly carried out the deadly attack on Soraj Sharma at their home in Jamaica in Bellerose Manor on Saturday morning. The suspect is accused of grabbing his mother from behind, choking and punching her until she fell to the floor, prosecutors said.

Once down, the son allegedly continued the attack, strangling and punching his mother before sexually assaulting her. The victim lost consciousness and then died, the New York Post quoted the officials as saying. The suspect told police he woke up the morning before Mother's Day "with an uncontrollable urge to hurt someone,' according to a criminal complaint. Sharma told police, 'he continued choking her (mother) until he was pretty sure she was dead,' the criminal complaint alleges.
