Unable to battle increasing depression, a woman killed her three children, and herself, in a tragic incident.
Devi alias Sakru, who lived in Rekula Chowdapur village, Nawabpet Mandal, of Mahbubnagar district, had reportedly been heading into a deep depression since her husband was a lorry driver who travelled a lot for work, thus leaving her alone to take care of her children.
Last night, she pushed her three little children into a well, and jumped in after them. The children drowned to death, and Sakru, who was rescued, eventually died after going into fits.
Widely believed to have been mentally unstable, Sakru had even attempted suicide once before. According to the police, she had been addicted to a local alcoholic brew.
