woman-kills-three-children-before-committing-suicide-in-mansa

A woman in Punjab’s Mansa reportedly killed her three children and later committed suicide at her residence, police said on Friday. The woman has been identified as Sandeep Kaur (36), Station House Officer (SHO), City Police Station II, Mansa. Kulwant Singh told the media shortly after the news about the incident spread.

According to officials, Kaur was found hanging late on Thursday evening, while her three children — identified as Khushpreet Kaur (12), Samandeep Kaur (7), and a two-year-old son — were found dead.

Officials suspect that Kaur first administered some poisonous substance to her eldest daughter, while the two other children may have been strangled to death. However, the post-mortem report will reveal the exact cause, the SHO said.

 

Kaur’s husband had passed away a few months ago, he said, adding that her mother worked as a labourer.

The reasons behind the woman allegedly killing her children and taking the extreme step are under investigation, the SHO said.
