Bengaluru: Woman poisons disabled sons, commits suicide
Bengaluru: In a heart wrenching incident, a 50-year-old woman who was depressed over her life poisoned her two specially-abled children and later ended her life in Electronics City police station limits on Friday night. The deceased have been identified as Radhamma and her two specially-abled sons Harish (28) and Santosh (25). The trio resided in a rented house near Patalamma Temple in Dodddagogonoor.
According to police, Radhamma, a native of Tamil Nadu, had come to the city a few years ago along with her husband and two sons.
Radhamma’s ties with her husband soured over the issue of specially-abled children and she then started living with her sons in a different house. As she did not have a steady income, she had to struggle to make both ends meet.
She became very depressed and on Friday night mixed poision in the dinner and fed her two sons. Later, she too consumed the poison laced food. The incident came to light on Saturday morning when Radhamma's neighbour went to check on her. When she peeped through a window, she found the trio lying motionless on the floor.
