A mentally challenged woman killed her two children before hanging herself here on Saturday evening, police said.
The incident took place in the Semri village of Kachhwa when Sangeeta (35), wife of Harishchandra, stuffed cloth in the mouth of her two children – Shivansh (3 years and 8 months) and Shubhankar (14 months) – and then strangled them to death, Kachhwa Station House Officer (SHO) Amarjeet Singh said.
She then hanged herself from the roof of her kutcha house using a coir rope, the officer said.
