In a shocking incident in Chennai, a family feud led a woman to slit the throats of her two young sons and herself. One child died, while she and another are critical.
Chennai, December 22: A family feud in Pullapuram, near Kilpauk, led to a horrifying incident on Saturday, December 21, as a woman allegedly attempted to take her own life and that of her two young sons. The woman reportedly slit the throats of her children, 18-month-old and four-and-a-half-year-old, before injuring herself. Tragically, the younger child succumbed to his injuries at Kilpauk Medical College Hospital, while she and her elder son remain in critical condition in the ICU.
According to a report by Times Of India, R Divya and her husband, R Ramkumar, who works at a private courier firm, were married on September 12, 2019. However, their marriage was reportedly fraught with frequent arguments and disputes. The tensions between the couple escalated over time, leading to a separation two months ago. Following the separation, Divya moved back to her parents’ house in Pullapuram, while Ramkumar chose to stay with his parents in Perungalathur.
