Woman kills her two children, ends her life too over alleged family dispute

BENGALURU:A woman killed her two children and then committed suicide, leaving behind a suicide note, over an alleged family dispute in Kodigehalli, Bengaluru. The deceased have been identified as Kusuma (35), and her children Shriyan (6) and one-and-a-half-year-old daughter Charvi.

Kusuma and her husband Suresh lived in an apartment in Kodigehalli. Due to a family dispute, Kusuma allegedly strangled her children to death and then hanged herself. A death note was found at the scene in which Kusuma wrote that she was responsible for her own death. However, Kusuma had killed their two children before taking her own life.

Suresh, who hailed from Tumakuru, and Kusuma from Mattikere fell in love and had got married. They had been living in Kodigehalli for two years, but the couple had a strained relationship. Suresh worked as an accountant in a private company while Kusuma was a homemaker.

Kusuma committed the act coinciding with the death anniversary of Suresh’s mother. A case has been registered at the Kodigehalli police station.
