Woman, two minor children found hanging in home in Chhattisgarh's Balod district
Balod (PTI): A 28-year-old woman and her two minor children were found hanging in their home in Chhattisgarh's Balod district, police said on Saturday.
Police suspect that the woman killed her two children first before dying by suicide.
The bodies of Hemlata Sahu, her son Khomedra (4) and daughter Trisha (2) were found hanging in their home at Kochera village under Gurur police station limits on Friday, a police official here said.
The woman's husband is a mason and he was out on work at the time, while her father-in-law was in a hospital to take care of Hemlata's mother-in-law, who is unwell, the official said, citing preliminary information.
When the woman's father-in-law returned home in the afternoon, he found the main door locked from inside. He peeped through the window and saw the trio hanging from the ceiling, he said.
The mother and toddlers were hanging from sarees, he said.
"Prima facie, it seems the woman killed her children first and then hanged herself. However, no suicide note was found at the spot. The exact details of the matter will be known after the arrival of the postmortem report and further investigation," he said.
An accidental death report has been registered in this connection, he added.
In a similar case on December 29 last year, a couple and their 14-year-old daughter were found hanging in their home in capital Raipur.
Earlier on December 25, a 40-year-old man allegedly gave poison to his wife and two minor daughters before consuming it himself in Durg district. The man and one of the girls died.

EAM Jaishankar meets Jamaican PM, gifts over 10 BHISHM Cubes
Kingston (PTI): External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar on Monday met Jamaican Prime Minister Andrew Holness and discussed ways to further deepen "political, economic and people-to-people cooperation."
Jaishankar also conveyed greetings from Prime Minister Narendra Modi to Holness.
"Pleased to call on Prime Minister @AndrewHolnessJM in Kingston. Conveyed the greetings of PM @narendramodi," Jaishankar posted on X.
"Discussed deepening our political, economic and people-to-people cooperation. Value his commitment towards further strengthening India-Jamaica relations," the post further read.
Also, the external affairs minister handed over 10 BHISHM (Bharat Health Initiative for Sahyog Hita & Maitri) Cubes as a gift to Jamaica.
"Formally handed over 10 BHISHM Cubes as a gift from India to Jamaica, in the presence of PM @AndrewHolnessJM, Health Minister @christufton and FM @kaminajsmith," Jaishankar posted on X.
"The BHISHM Cube mobile hospital system, designed for rapid deployment, will help Jamaica during disasters and emergencies. The gift of these cubes is a statement of friendship, a commitment to disaster preparedness, and an outcome of innovation," the post said.
Jaishankar arrived in Kingston on Saturday evening, marking the first leg of his nine-day tour of Jamaica, Suriname, and Trinidad and Tobago, aimed at further strengthening India's strategic and cultural ties with the Caribbean nations.
Earlier in the day, he interacted with the Indian diaspora and discussed India's ongoing transformation in infrastructure, human development and technology-driven governance and entrepreneurship with them.
He also highlighted the cricket bond between both countries as India gifted a scoreboard to Jamaica.
A scoreboard was dedicated at Sabina Park in Kingston. It is the home of the Jamaica cricket team and is the only Test cricket ground in the Caribbean island nation.
The minister expressed hope that the new scoreboard would witness many memorable innings, including those symbolising the enduring friendship between the two countries.
Cricket has long been a strong cultural bridge between India and Jamaica, which is part of the West Indies cricket team.
Jamaican players, including Chris Gayle, Courtney Walsh and Michael Holding, have played a major role in shaping the legacy of West Indies cricket in the international arena, contributing to its dominance in earlier decades and its continued global appeal.
