Hyderabad: In what is suspected to be a murder-suicide, a woman allegedly killed her three-year-old son and later jumped to her death in Satavahana Colony in LB Nagar here on Tuesday morning. Police suspect family disputes led to the incident.
The victims were identified as G.Mamatha (25), a homemaker and her son Riyansh (3).
Mamatha had been having frequent fights with her husband apart from other problems in the family. She was visibly depressed for the last few days over it, police said.
According to the police, Mamatha first slashed the veins on the right hand of Riyansh and later jumped from the third floor of the apartment they lived in.
“Riyansh died on the spot due to profuse bleeding. After confirming he had died, Mamatha committed suicide by jumping from the building. She fell on the ground and died on the spot with multiple injuries,” police said.
The LB Nagar police have booked a case and took up investigation. The bodies were shifted to the Osmania General Hospital morgue for autopsy.
Mamatha’s family alleged that harassment from her husband led to the deaths.
