Sangareddy: In a tragic incident, a mother allegedly poisoned her three children to death before hanging herself to death at Rudraram in Patancheru mandal on Sunday.

The deceased were Suvarna (28), her son Jaswanth (8), and twin daughters Chinmayi and Chitra (3). Suvarna’s husband, Anjaneyulu (32), who suffered a failure of both his kidneys, was undergoing treatment in a hospital. Anjaneyulu, a native of Athmakur in Sadasivapet mandal, used to work as a bike mechanic at Isnapur. Since he was addicted to liquor, both his kidneys failed, according to Patancheru police.

Anjaneyulu’s illness had pushed the family into a deep financial crisis, which is said to be the reason behind Suvarna’s extreme step. She left a suicide note beside her children’s bodies, in which she said the financial problems sparked frequent quarrels between the wife and husband.

The incident left the residents of the Rudraram and the kin of Suvarna in shock. A case was registered. The bodies were taken to the government hospital in Patancheru for postmortem.
