Both of them died in place.
The woman’s son, who was also injured, was in the hospital.
The reason for the attack was unknown, police said, added the hunting for Sagar accused, 28 years old.
Police supervisor R Shivakumar said the attack occurred as soon as Shivaprakash who died, 56 years old, reached Latha’s house at around 10pm on Thursday.
Sagar followed his father, a trader, to the house and an argument broke up with family problems.
In anger, Sagar attacked his father with sharp weapons and killed him, said ASP.

After the death of Nagaraj in 2016, Shivaprakash had cared for the family and this was believed to have angered Sagar, they said.
Latha has three children – two daughters and a son.
While the daughters were married, Arjun lived with his mother.
Besides Sagar, Shivaprakash has a daughter.
