Kolar: A 38-year-old woman, who allegedly killed her two children, died by suicide in the KGF taluk of the district on Wednesday, police said. She has been identified as Thipamma, a homemaker, cops said.

According to police, the woman and her husband shared a strained relationship. They were married for over 20 years. 

A marital dispute between the couple is suspected to have triggered the woman to take such a drastic step.

Citing preliminary investigations, a senior police officer said the woman allegedly killed her children—a seven-year-old daughter and a four-year-old son—by hanging them. After killing them, she also hung herself from a ceiling fan.

The bodies were discovered by her husband, who then informed the police, he said.

A case has been registered in this regard, police said, adding that the woman’s husband was questioned as part of the investigation.
