A woman in her 30s allegedly killed her two daughters and later ended her life in Choutuppal in the district on Thursday. Police identified the victims as Turpunuri Uma Rani, her daughters 13-year-old Harshini and 11-year-old Lucky. It was suspected that the woman might have hanged her three daughters, including the youngest one Shalini, and later hanged herself from the ceiling of the house using a sari. Shocked relatives of the family suspected family disturbances, reportedly over the alcoholic condition of the male head, and financial difficulties as reasons for the extreme step of Uma Rani.
